Bae went 1-for-4 with two RBI, three runs scored and a stolen base in Monday's 14-3 win over the Rockies.

The Pirates scored six runs in the second inning of a blowout win, and Bae contributed to the rally with a bunt single that drove in one. He then proceeded to steal third base to tally his fifth stolen bag of the season. Though Pittsburgh shifts its lineup considerably when a lefty is on the mound, Bae has been a consistence presence in the batting order regardless of handedness and has an everyday role on the team. Through 55 plate appearances, he has chipped in 10 runs scored and eight RBI despite hitting just .220/.278/.380.

Marte went 2-for-4 with a home run and two RBI in Monday's 6-3 win over the Cardinals.

Marte delivered Josh Rojas, who had doubled to lead off the game, then gave the Diamondbacks a 2-1 lead in the seventh with his second homer of the season. His bat came around during the second full week of baseball, as Marte has batted .296 (8-for-29) with four extra-base hits over the last seven games.

Turang went 1-for-2 with a solo home run in Monday's 7-2 win against Seattle.

Turang began the game on the bench with lefty Chris Flexen on the mound for Seattle, but the rookie got a chance to hit for Owen Miller in the seventh inning. Turang came through with a solo homer for his second career long ball. He's holding his own in the majors thus far as the Brewers' primary second baseman, slashing .283/.340/.435 with seven runs, six RBI and three steals over 16 games.

Hoerner went 2-for-5 with an RBI, three runs scored, a stolen base and a walk in Monday's 10-1 win over Oakland.

Hoerner singled in a run and scored during the Cubs' four-run sixth inning. He crossed home three times in the big win, bringing him to 16 runs scored with an MLB-leading nine steals through 15 games. Hoerner posted his eighth multi-hit game and improved his slash line to .338/.394/.385.

Mathias went 4-for-5 with two runs scored and one RBI in Monday's 14-3 win over the Rockies.

Mathias was in a 1-for-15 skid to begin his Pirates career before knocking four singles Monday. He's made six appearances - all at second base - since being recalled from Triple-A Indianapolis on April 10. The 28-year-old is now hitting .250 at the MLB level this season.

Turang is not in the starting lineup for Monday's game against the Mariners.

Turang will take a seat on the bench to begin the series in Seattle after going 1-for-4 against the Padres on Sunday. Owen Miller will handle second base duties against Chris Flexen and the Mariners while hitting eighth.

Turang went 1-for-4 with a stolen base in Sunday's 1-0 win over the Padres.

Turang notched a base hit to lead off the 5th inning and stole second base to give the Brewers a runner in scoring position with nobody out but was stranded there. The 23-year-old struck out his other three times up, which was just the second game this season he's struck out more than twice. Turang got off to a hot start but has cooled off some, and now sits at a slash line of .273/.333/.364 over 48 plate appearances.

Albies went 2-for-4 with a solo home run, an RBI and two runs scored in Sunday's victory over the Royals.

Albies launched his third home run of the season in the fourth inning, driving a pitch from Zack Greinke over the right-field fence. The 26-year-old second baseman would add a double off Scott Barlow in the ninth to collect his third multi-hit game of the year. With a .262 batting average and .279 on-base percentage, Albies has scored six runs and knocked in 11 through 65 plate appearances.

Stott went 3-for-7 with a solo home run and an additional RBI during Sunday's 14-3 win over the Reds.

Stott lead off the game with a solo blast against Luis Cessa, which marked the shortstop's first homer of the season and extended his hit streak to 16 games. He added an RBI single in the the ninth and now has 10 multi-knock outings this year.

Garcia went 1-for-4 with a two-run homer run in Sunday's 7-6 win over the Guardians.

Garcia cut Washington's deficit to 6-5 in the seventh inning, launching a 430-foot two-run shot off the left-handed Tim Herrin. The 22-year-old Garcia has been hot since returning from a hamstring injury, going 5-for-11 with two home runs in his last three games. He's now slashing .286/.316/.486 through 35 at-bats to start the year.
