Smoak went 2-for-4 with a solo homer and two RBI on Sunday as the Mariners beat the Rockies.
Recommendation: Smoak has five multi-hit outings in his last nine games, raising his batting average from .193 to .218 as a result. Meanwhile, even though he ended a seven-game stretch with at least one strikeout, his 25.2 strikeout percentage will likely hinder his ability to raise his average much further.

Smoak had two hits Monday in a 6-1 loss to the BoSox.
