Those five RBI gave him a new career-high.

In other batting news, Timnath let Caden Poynter and Dane Wyman run wild. Poynter got on base in three of his four plate appearances with two stolen bases and three runs, while Wyman got on base in all four of his plate appearances with two stolen bases and two runs. Timnath is 6-1 when Poynter posts two or more runs, but 5-6 otherwise. Another player making a difference was Carson Olinger, who went 2-for-3 with two stolen bases and one RBI.
