Newman went 1-for-3 with a double in Sunday's 3-0 loss to the Cardinals.

EDGE Analysis

His double accounted for the team's lone extra-base hit off of starter Adam Wainwright. Newman is hitting just .228 overall, but he's slashing .321/.339/.571 in his last 59 plate appearances (prior to Sunday). Given the catastrophic offensive first-half performance -- he compiled a .518 OPS in his first 74 games -- the infielder has plenty of incentive to salvage his season. Still, he's hit just four homers and stolen three bases in 423 plate appearances.

Newman went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and an additional run in Saturday's 5-4 win over the Cardinals.

EDGE Analysis

Getting the start at shortstop and batting eighth, Newman tied the major-league record with four two-baggers in a game. The 28-year-old has been flashing some extra-base power in August, batting .333 (11-for-33) through 11 games with seven doubles, but on the season he's still hitting just .226.
