White Sox's Luis Robert: Pilfers two bags in win
Rotowire
Robert went 1-for-4 with two steals and a run scored in Tuesday's win over the Athletics.
Robert reached twice via a fielder's choice in the first and a base hit in the fourth and stole second base both times he got on. He led the American League in steals in July and this was his third time this season stealing multiple bases in a game, bringing him up to 17 for the season. Though the White Sox finally ended their 21-game losing streak Tuesday night, Robert has still struggled to find a groove at the plate over the last month. Since July 6, he's slashing just .177/.225/.292 with two homers, eight RBI and seven runs. His OPS also dropped below .700 for the season after Tuesday's effort.
