Newman went 0-for-3 with a walk and a stolen base Thursday against the Marlins.

Newman has served as Pittsburgh's leadoff hitter in four of the team's last five games -- each of which has come against lefties. He has been productive in that span, collecting six hits in 19 at-bats to go along with two RBI, a run scored and his second stolen base of the year. In particular, his ability to be aggressive on the basepaths is encouraging given that he just returned from a groin injury July 9.
