Over his past 10 games, the shortstop has tallied four multi-hit efforts with three homers and two steals.

Pena went 0-for-4 with a stolen base Saturday against the White Sox. Pena saw his five-game hitting streak come to an end, but he still managed his 14th stolen base of the season to set a new career high.

That production has been just one part of Pena's strong season, as he's also maintaining a career-best .277 average across 500 plate appearances.
