He was also stellar in the batter's box, getting on base in four of his five plate appearances with two stolen bases, three runs, and two RBI.
In other batting news, the team relied heavily on Johnny Hughes, who got on base in all five of his plate appearances with six stolen bases, five runs, and one RBI. He is on a roll when it comes to stolen bases, as he's now snagged three or more in each of the last five games he's played. Another player making a difference was Samuel Herrejon, who got on base in four of his five plate appearances with two stolen bases, three runs, and one double.
