RHYLAN ON A ROLL: OF Rhylan Thomas extended his hitting streak to 10 games with his single in the third inning on Sunday...over his 10-game hit streak, Thomas is batting .413 (19x46) with five RBI and 14 runs scored...Thomas now leads the PCL with 155 hits on the season...Thomas, who also leads the league with a 1.56 BB/K ratio (per FanGraphs), has struck out just 25 times this season, tied for the fewest among all qualified full-season minor leaguers...his 1.56 BB/K ratio is the best for a Rainier and the eighth-best for a PCL hitter in a single season since 2006 (per FanGraphs)...his 25 strikeouts are the fewest for a Rainier in a single season since 2005 (min 500 PA), with the next-closest being the 62 strikeouts by Ramon Santiago for the 2005 Rainiers...his 25 strikeouts are tied for the fewest for a Triple-A hitter with at least 500 PA in a single season since 2005.

LOOKING FOR THE LONG BALL: The Rainiers have gone their last seven games without a home run, their longest streak of the season and tied for the longest streak in the PCL this year (Reno - 7G from May 25-June 1)...the last time Tacoma went seven consecutive August games without hitting a home run was when they went seven games from July 19-26, 2018...the last time Tacoma went eight games without a home run was August 25-September 1, 2017, their longest streak without a home run since 2005...the Rainiers, who rank 15th in Triple-A with 144 home runs this season, have scored 257 runs via the long ball, the 10th-most in the circuit.

TAYLOR ON TRACK FOR THE RECORD: Entering today's game, Samad Taylor has 90 career steals with Tacoma, the second-most in franchise history...he trails only the 92 stolen bases by Dell Alston, who played for Tacoma from 1978-80...since making his Triple-A debut in 2022, his 156 steals are the most in Triple-A, five ahead of Forrest Wall's 151...since his professional debut in 2016, Taylor's 269 career steals are the second-most in the minor leagues, trailing only the 307 by Esteury Ruiz...Cade Marlowe is also in the hunt for the record, as he has 86 career steals with Tacoma, six shy of the record.

MARINERS UPDATE: Seattle fell 10-2 to Tampa Bay on Monday...both Seattle runs were scored in the top of the ninth on Leo Rivas's first Major League home run...Eugenio Suárez went 2-for-4 with a pair of doubles in the loss.
