Eloy Jimenez’s Bat Is Starting To Come Alive

Don’t look now but Eloy Jimenez is starting to heat up at the plate. 

On Monday the 27-year-old drove in his eighth RBI of the season. In his last seven games, Jimenez is hitting .321 with two home runs, five RBIs, and a .571 slugging percentage. The recent hot steak helps mask a slow start at the plate for Jimenez, who went just 2 for 21 in his first 23 at-bats. During the Opening Series against the Tigers, he slashed just .182/.182/.182.

But as Jimenez has begun to heat up so has the offense.
