Moncada went 3-for-4 with a stolen base and a run scored in Tuesday's loss to the Astros.

EDGE Analysis

Moncada raised his season batting average from .227 to .241 in Tuesday's three-hit performance and is now hitting an impressive .302 during the month of September. The toolsy second baseman is still striking out in over 32 percent of his plate appearances, but he's been making enough solid contact recently to make his robust strikeout rate more palatable. The 22-year-old now has 10 hits in his last five starts and is on pace to turn in a very encouraging final month of the regular season.
