August Stats: 98 AB, 30 H, 5 HR, 19 RBI, 13 BB, .389 OBP, .306 BA

Seager had spent the year in an up and down fashion. He had tough months in April and June, but strong months in May and July. If the trend was to keep, Seager would struggle in August.

However, he did not. He kept his stats steady through the month, even though his team fell off their playoff pace.

Seager’s best game came on August 22 in a 7-5 win over the Yankees. In that game, he went 2 for 3 with a homerun, three RBIs, and two runs scored. Seager has hit exactly five homeruns in each month this season giving him 25 for the year.
