TORONTO -- Not everything has gone according to plan this season for the Mariners, given their battle with injuries and attrition. But the search for speed and defense, particularly in the outfield, continues to pay dividends, and Jarrod Dyson showed why again in Saturday's 7-2 loss to the Blue Jays.
Dyson made several outstanding running catches in the center field, including his first "5-Star" play of the year, the highest ranking given in Statcast™'s defensive system. And the fleet-footed 32-year-old also legged out an infield single, stole second and scored the Mariners' first run in the fifth, and then singled in the second run in the sixth, as he went 2-for-2 with a pair of walks.
