He added a two-run homer in the eighth, his third long ball in his last four games and 10th this season. He hasn't been running a ton, especially lately, but regardless Hiura's been the top fantasy second baseman to this point.

Mountcastle went 3-for-3 with a homer, three RBI and two runs scored in a 6-3 win over the Yankees in Game 2 of Friday's doubleheader.
