Watch: Mariners 3B Eugenio Suarez plays hacky sack after fouling ball off foot
Seattle Mariners third baseman Eugenio Suarez currently leads the majors in strikeouts with 173, but he was able to turn a simple foul tip into quite a performance during the team's 5-3 win over the Detroit Tigers on Wednesday night.
Suarez had a big night at the dish, going 2-for-4 with a home run and two RBIs, and was able to snap his streak of eight consecutive games with a strikeout. He also homered for the 25th time this season, ninth time in August and sixth time in the last two weeks.
A one-time All-Star, Suarez was traded from the Cincinnati Reds to the Mariners in the offseason in a deal that also landed Seattle 2021 All-Star outfielder Jesse Winker.
The 31-year-old has posted a .231/.335/.449 slash line and leads the team in home runs, RBIs (75), games played (129), at-bats (463), doubles (22) and total bases (208). The Mariners enter action Thursday at 72-58 and in position for the second AL wild-card spot.
