Mariners' Norichika Aoki: Does it all in win over Oakland

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

Analysis:

Aoki manufactured Seattle's fourth run all on his own, following up a one-out double in the seventh inning by stealing third 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 steal totals have decreased in each of his first four major league seasons.
