Could a big two-strike, ninth-inning hit from Rougned Odor be a springboard back to success?

SEATTLE -- Baseball is a game of numbers so let's just get right to a few that may help explain just how real Rougned Odor's struggle was when he came to the plate in the ninth inning of what was then a tie game Tuesday:

.022: Odor's batting average with two strikes for 47 at-bats this season. He had one hit.

.101: Odor's two-strike batting average since the start of 2017.

.092: Odor's two-strike batting average since the start of 2017 when a right-hander threw him a slider.

The situation was beyond dire.
