Aoki went 2-for-4 with a double, a walk, a run scored and a stolen base during Monday's 4-3 win at Oakland.

EDGE Analysis

Aoki manufactured Seattle's fourth run all on his own, following up a one-out double in the seventh inning by stealing third base and scoring on an errant throw by catcher Stephen Vogt. His performance in this one demonstrated why the Mariners opt to use the Japanese outfielder at the top of the order, though it is worth noting that Aoki's steals total has decreased in each of his first four major league seasons.
