Merrill went 3-for-5 with a double, a stolen base and two runs scored in Friday's 7-5 win over the Giants.
Merrill has at least three hits in three of his last four games, adding nine RBI and two steals in that span. The outfielder has had some ups and downs this season but looks to be in a groove after a rough patch earlier in September. He's batting .248 with a .732 OPS, 24 home runs, 26 steals, 79 RBI, 76 runs scored, 24 doubles and four triples over 144 games.
