Pena went 3-for-4 with an RBI double, a run scored and a stolen base in a 7-5 win over the Athletics on Friday.
EDGE Analysis
Pena had a good night at the plate, belting his 13th double as part of a three-hit effort. He also stole his seventh base before coming in to score his 46th run of the season. The performance could mark the end of a particularly cold stretch of play -- the rookie shortstop is slashing a paltry .220/.220/.268 in 41 at-bats in August.

Pena went 2-for-4 with a solo home run, a double, a walk and two total runs in a loss to the Athletics on Monday.
EDGE Analysis
Pena's first-inning solo homer gave Houston an early lead, but the team never led after the third frame. The rookie shortstop also homered against Seattle on Sunday, and this was the first time in his major-league career that he's gone deep in consecutive games. Pena ranks second among rookies with 15 home runs on the season, which trails Seattle's Julio Rodriguez by one.

Pena went 0-for-4 with an RBI in Sunday's 6-1 win over the Athletics.

The rookie shortstop is 7-for-33 (.212) with three home runs, five RBI and six runs scored through seven games in July, though a four-hit, two-homer game July 3 against the Angels helped steady his recent numbers. Overall, he's slashing .266/.314/.464 through 258 plate appearances.

EDGE Analysis
Pena was scratched from Thursday's lineup due to the league's health and safety protocols, and he'll remain out of the starting nine for a second consecutive game.
