Newman went 1-for-3 with an RBI and a stolen base in Wednesday's 3-2 loss to the Cubs.

The shortstop's RBI came on a 10-pitch, sixth-inning sacrifice fly. Newman has hit safely in just four of his last 10 games, going 6-for-37 (.162) in that span. He's slashing a meager .221/.259/.306 through 543 plate appearances in a near-everyday role for Pittsburgh. He's added just five home runs, six steals, 37 RBI and 48 runs scored in 145 games, which makes his breakout in 2019 look more like an outlier compared to his other three seasons.
