EDGE Analysis

The 26-year-old now has a five-game hitting streak and finished August with seven multi-hit efforts. Kiermaier managed to bring his average up 20 points to .228 since August 1, after a forgettable July in which he slashed .143/.333/.214. Despite a long absence earlier in the summer due to a wrist injury, he's now just four homers away from eclipsing his career-best figure of 10 that he's managed in each of his previous two seasons.
