Mariners' J.P. Crawford: Starts to heat up

Crawford, who went 2-for-4 in Sunday's win over the Astros, has now reached safely in seven straight games.

The veteran shortstop also cleared the bases Saturday with a clutch double, so he was a thorn in the side of Astros pitching over the last two games of the series. Crawford's current .378 on-base percentage is by far the highest of his career, a number largely built on his highest walk rate (18.0 percent) since his rookie 2017 season in Philadelphia.
