Clubs two-run homer in win Garver went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run in Sunday's 4-0 win over the Blue Jays.

Impact Garver provided some offense in what was largely a pitcher's duel, driving a two-run homer to left field off Trey Yesavage in the fourth inning. Since Cal Raleigh returned from the injured list June 16, Garver has seen limited playing time but drew the start behind the plate Sunday with Raleigh serving as the designated hitter. On the year, Garver is hitting .194/.325/.330 with four homers, 14 RBI and 16 runs scored across 123 plate appearances.

Though he'll crack the lineup Sunday while Raleigh serves as the Mariners' designated hitter, Garver is unlikely to see more than a start or two per week in his role as the No. 2 catcher.
