Pearce went 2-for-3 with a double, RBI, a run scored and two walks in Tuesday's 12-2 victory over the Blue Jays.

EDGE Analysis

The veteran utility man hit out of the cleanup spot and manned second base, and continues to validate manager Kevin Cash's decision to work him into the lineup in non-platoon situations. Pearce has particularly taken off this month, during which he's now slashing .341/.429/.756 over 41 at-bats. He's tallied six multi-hit efforts in May, and has hit .571 (4-for-7) with a double, homer, four RBI, three walks and three runs scored in the first two games of the series against the Blue Jays.
