Elvis Andrus went 5-for-5 with two RBI to help the Rangers beat the Tigers 7-2 on Saturday night.

Andrus got the Rangers on the board first when he singled and then later scored on a passed ball in the bottom of the opening inning. He would later add a triple, a double and two more singles, also tallying two steals. The talented shortstop is hitting .282/.328/.350 with 12 stolen bases in 42 games played this season.

Elvis Andrus has hit safely in 12 of 15 games this month.

After scuffling out of the gate (.250/.291/.317 in April), Andrus has shown signs of adapting his timing. His OBP in May is over .350. After posting a career high .378 slugging percentage in 2012, Andrus has seen that number tumble to .321 entering play on Thursday. Of course, nobody drafted him as a slugger. The two-time All-Star already has almost half as many steal this year (10) as he did last (21), and he's only been picked off once. We're not concerned with him.

It's just a scheduled day of rest. Leury Garcia has replaced Andrus at shortstop, while Jeff Baker is starting at third base and Adrian Beltre is serving as the designated hitter.

Rangers signed SS Elvis Andrus to an eight-year, $120 million contract extension.

The deal carries a total value of $146.275 million if you include what's left on Andrus' current contract and the $15 million vesting option for 2023. Andrus has a rolling opt-out clause that can be used in either 2018 or 2019. The 24-year-old shortstop is a great defender and baserunner, and he's made positive strides offensively. He officially signed off on the extension Thursday at Rangers Ballpark in Arlington.

CBS Sports' Jon Heyman reports that Elvis Andrus could earn a maximum of $146.275 million as part of his new agreement with the Rangers.

This includes the $11.25 million he will make over the next two seasons and his new eight-year, $120 million extension, which includes a $15 million vesting option for 2023. The 24-year-old shortstop has the right to opt out of the deal after either 2018 or 2019, so it could end up being something closer to a four-year, $60 million extension. And the Rangers are pretty confident that he'll eventually use that opt-out.
