Ben Gamel ended an 0-17 hitless drought when he singled in the sixth inning Friday night in Seattle's 5-2 win over Kansas City. He finished the evening going 1-4, while striking out once.
Fantasy Implications: The 25-year-old rookie outfielder has been a pleasant surprise this year to both the Mariners and fantasy owners alike. But Gamel's outstanding first-half of the season has been driven by an abnormally high .400 BABIP, making him a prime candidate for a second-half negative regression. As a matter of fact, in the past five games he has seen his batting average drop from .322 to .307. Gamel's modest power and speed (6 HR, 3 SB) make him a credible starter in only the deepest of fantasy leagues.
