EDGE Analysis

Merrifield provided his usual spark atop the order, singling in the fifth, doubling home an insurance run in the seventh and tripling in two more in the eighth to record hits in each of his final three at-bats. He's strung together a modest five-game hitting streak that features an 8-for-14 stretch over his last three games, though the two extra-base hits equaled his prior August total.
