Whit Merrifield Posts Three Hits, Swipes A Bag In Win
8 months agoToronto Blue Jays second baseman/outfielder Whit Merrifield went 3-for-5 with a double, one RBI, one run scored, and a stolen base in Friday's 13-9 victory over the Colorado Rockies. The 34-year-old ended August on a low note, hitting just 8-for-54 in his previous 13 games, so this was a promising sight. Merrifield notably singled and stole second base during the second inning before doubling in a seventh-inning run. The three-time All-Star's 2022 post-trade deadline resurgence after joining the Jays has carried over into 2023, batting .290 (139-for-480) with 11 home runs, 25 doubles, 59 RBI, and 25 stolen bases. Fantasy managers hope Merrifield works his way back up Toronto's lineup, and Friday's effort should only aid that cause.
