LeMahieu went 2-for-5 with a pair of RBI singles and a run in Wednesday's 11-3 win over the Padres.
The Rockies' second baseman opened the scoring on the night with a hit into right that brought home Charlie Blackmon in the first and followed that up with a fifth-inning RBI single that extended Colorado's lead to 10-1. It was a welcome outing for LeMahieu, who came into the game mired in a 2-for-20 slump that had lowered his average to .255. Although he's seen a significant reduction in his overall line and RBI production thus far in 2017, the 28-year-old is actually sporting better walk and strikeout rates than last season. The major difference lies in his BABIP, with his current .295 figure almost a full 100 points lower than last season's unsustainable .393.
