At the plate, Trumpy got on base in all three of his plate appearances with three runs and one stolen base, while Shaltis went 2-for-3 with one home run, four RBI, and two runs. Trumpy is on a roll when it comes to stolen bases, as he's now snagged at least one in each of the last three games he's played.

Dennard went 1-for-3 with one triple, one stolen base, and two RBI, while Williams got on base in two of his three plate appearances with two stolen bases and two runs.
