Eric Cisneros made a big impact no matter where he played. He looked comfortable on the mound, pitching five innings while giving up just one earned run off four hits. He has been consistent : he hasn't given up more than one earned run in five consecutive appearances. He was also big at the plate, scoring three runs and stealing two bases while going 2-for-2. He is becoming a predictor of Palmer's success: when he posts at least two stolen bases the team is 3-1-1 (and 1-11 when he doesn't).
