Kiermaier went 1-for-2 with a double, two walks, two RBI, two stolen bases and a run in Tuesday's victory over the Angels.
EDGE Analysis
The veteran outfielder helped pad Tampa Bay's lead with a two-run double in the sixth inning for his fourth and fifth RBI of the season. He was also a nuisance on the basepaths, swiping a bag following a walk in both the second and fourth innings. Kiermaier recently suffered through a 1-for-16 stretch but has turned things around with four hits and three walks over his past 12 plate appearances.

Kiermaier went 1-for-5 with a triple and a run in a win over the Athletics on Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
Kiermaier's first three-bagger of the season ultimately resulted in him scoring the first run of the game in the first inning, as he crossed the plate later in the frame when Randy Arozarena reached on a fielding error. Kiermaier has reached safely in eight of the last nine games in which he's logged at least one plate appearance, but he's still sporting just a .273 on-base percentage and remains in search of his first home run.

Kiermaier's lone hit of the night was an eighth-inning single. He ended up taking second for his first stolen base of the year and eventually came around to score on a RBI double by Randy Arozarena. Kiermaier started the year with one hit in his first 11 at-bats but has recently found life at the plate with five hits, four runs scored and two RBI in his last four games.

EDGE Analysis
