Gardner went 3-for-4 with a triple and two runs scored Saturday in the first game of a doubleheader against the Royals.
Gardner is 12-for-22 over his last six games to raise his batting average 47 points, and he's driving the ball with six extra-base hits over that span. His slash line for the season is now a much-more-respectable .240/.323/.455 after the hot streak.
