Whit Merrifield Steals Another Base Against Twins
2 years agoToronto Blue Jays second baseman Whit Merrifield went 1-for-4 with a stolen base and a strikeout in Sunday's 7-6 win over the visiting Minnesota Twins. The stolen base was Merrifield's 17th of the season, and he's now batting a strong .300 (65-for-217) with 13 doubles, two home runs, 25 RBI and 29 runs scored in 240 plate appearances over 60 games in his first full season in Toronto. The 34-year-old veteran has been heating up with the weather, too, and is hitting .351 (13-for-37) with two doubles, four RBI and three stolen bases in 11 games so far in the month of June. The two-time All-Star has already surpasses his stolen-base total from 2022 and could threaten for his third 40-steal campaign in 2023 if he can stay healthy.
