That triple marked the first that Stewart-Vaughn hit this season.

In other batting news, Marcell Holland and Jacob Anzaldua did most of the damage at the plate: Holland scored two runs while going 2-for-3, while Anzaldua scored two runs and stole a base while going 2-for-3. Joe Clark also deserves some recognition as he hit his first triple of the season.
