SEATTLE — The Seattle Mariners 6-3 loss against the Toronto Blue Jays on Saturday marked the end of several impressive streaks.

The Mariners nine-series win streak, the team's longest since they tied an MLB-record 116 regular seasons wins and made the American League Championship Series in 2001, came to an end. One of Seattle's best players, J.P. Crawford also had a career-best run snapped.

Crawford entered Saturday with a 16-game hit streak. It was the longest active hit streak in the majors and the longest of the former Gold Glove-winner's nine-year career. Crawford's streak came to an end after he finished the contest 0-for-4 with two strikeouts. He began his torrid stretch in an 8-4 win against, coincidentally, Toronto on April 19.

Since Crawford started his career-best stretch, he's scored 10 runs and had hit one double, three home runs and 13 RBIs. He slashed .348/.427/.500 with a .927 OPS in that three-week time frame.

J.P. Crawford, dad strength ... an absolute no-doubter.
