Betts picked up his second career Player of the Month Award and his first since winning in July of 2016 as a member of the Boston Red Sox. He is the second member of the Dodgers to take home monthly honors, joining Freddie Freeman, who won in May. Rodríguez earned his first career Player of the Month Award and is the first Mariners player since April of 2015 to be honored. He is the sixth different player in Mariners franchise history to win Player of the Month, joining Dan Meyer, Ken Griffey Jr., Edgar Martinez, Alex Rodriguez, Ichiro Suzuki and Nelson Cruz. Both players were selected to the All-Star teams this season and participated in the T-Mobile Home Run Derby in Seattle.
