Gordon went 3-for-4 with a run scored in Sunday's 3-2 triumph over the Rockies.
Gordon was nabbed on a steal attempt for the eighth time in 28 attempts, but that rather poor efficiency rate won't deter manager Dan Jennings from giving the blazing leadoff man the green light any time he reaches base. A .433 BABIP is still rather high even for a speed-oriented player like Gordon (whose career mark is .344), so expect his .372 batting average to fall quite steadily from here. That being said, Gordon should continue to deliver above-average production in that category the rest of the way, and after combining that with his contributions in the run-scoring and stolen-base departments, there's little doubt he's a top-tier fantasy option in the middle infield.
