Eloy Jimenez picked up three more hits yesterday. That was the second day in a row he had a multi-hit game and he stretched his hitting streak to nine games in the process. Seven of those nine games have contained multiple hits. In the extra bases department, that same nine game span includes six doubles, a triple, and two homers. His line read .322/.360/.504 when this streak started. It now reads .347/.384/.550. Thanks in part to the hitting streak, we get to enjoy a nice article on him courtesy of Milb.com.
Meanwhile, over in the Northwest League All-Star Game, Chris Pieters continued his very good season by finishing the game 2 for 4 with two doubles and a walk as the DH for his Northwest League squad. The NWL beat the Pioneer League 11-5.[adinserter block=”1″]
