Span went 2-for-5 with two RBI from a triple and also scored once in a loss to the Rockies on Friday.
EDGE Analysis
Span's red-hot July continued Friday, as he's now hitting .379 following Friday's production. The veteran outfielder has back-to-back two-hit efforts, and two of his three triples on the season have come within the last four games. Span's bat is proving an excellent complement to his defense since he's arrived in Seattle, giving an already-potent Mariners offense yet another weapon.

Span went 2-for-3 with a walk and a run in a loss to the Angels on Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
The move to the Pacific Northwest has been a boon for Span's production, with Thursday serving as the latest example. Span is off to a red-hot start in July (.375 average over 27 plate appearances), but he's steadily boosted his slash line since arriving from the Rays via trade in late May. The veteran outfielder's season average has climbed 32 points to .270 since his Seattle debut, while his slugging percentage has jumped 45 points to .430 partly due to his 11 extra-base hits (six doubles, one triple, four home runs) over that stretch.

Span is out of the lineup Sunday against the Royals, Greg Johns of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
The lefty-hitting Span finds himself on the bench for the second time in four games against a right-handed starting pitcher. Since being dealt to Seattle on May 25, Span is slashing a respectable .292/.330/.449 in 27 games, but it hasn't been quite enough to keep Ben Gamel from cutting into his playing time. Over that same stretch, Gamel is hitting an even better .335/.420/.500, prompting manager Bob Melvin to give Span more days off than he perhaps intended.

Span went 2-for-4 with an RBI double and a run in a win over the Royals on Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
The 34-year-old hit his stride at the plate in June, slashing .292/.338/.472 over 80 plate appearances. Span generated three multi-hit efforts over the last six games, while also driving in six of his 11 runs for the month in the last 10 contests overall. The move to the Pacific Northwest has agreed with the veteran, who's raised his average 21 points since making his Mariners debut May 28.

Span went 2-for-5 with a solo home run and two runs in a win over the Orioles on Monday.
EDGE Analysis
Span has heated up at the plate over the last three games, going 5-for-13 with a double, Monday's homer and four runs overall during that span. The veteran outfielder has looked much more like himself in June, slashing .304/.355/.518 with a .371 wOBA and 36.4 percent hard contact rate over his 62 plate appearances during the month.
