Josh Naylor 1B | SEA
Mariners' Josh Naylor: Reaches 30-steal mark
Naylor went 0-for-4 with a walk, one RBI and a stolen base in Saturday's 8-4 win over the Angels.
Naylor has reached the 30-steal mark for the second year in a row. That's a rare accomplishment for a first baseman -- he's the first to post 30 steals in consecutive years since George Sisler did in three straight years from 1920-1922. Prior to Naylor's last two years, the last first baseman to have 30 steals in a campaign was Paul Goldschmidt in 2016. While the work on the basepaths has been impressive, Naylor has struggled in other areas, batting .261 with a .667 OPS, 10 home runs, 56 RBI, 48 runs scored and 22 doubles over 151 contests. That OPS is his lowest in a full-length campaign; only his .621 mark in the abbreviated 2020 campaign is worse in his eight seasons.

Ryan Johnson SP | LAA
Angels' Ryan Johnson: Gives up four runs
Johnson allowed four runs on seven hits and four walks while striking out three over five innings in a no-decision versus the Mariners on Saturday.
Johnson allowed 12 runs over 27.2 innings over his five games in September, a step back from his strong August but still a decent way to wrap up the campaign. He closes out at a 5-9 record, 5.04 ERA, 1.39 WHIP and 79:43 K:BB through 100 innings over 22 games (19 starts). Johnson's work late in the season should keep him in the mix for a spot in the rotation moving forward.
