Isbel went 3-for-4 with a double and one RBI in Monday's 8-3 loss to the Twins.
EDGE Analysis
Isbel logged three hits for the second game in a row and it was his third consecutive multi-hit effort. The outfielder was ice cold before this hot stretch -- he went 0-for-21 over an eight-game span from July 30 to Aug. 7. He's now at a .236/.290/.386 slash line with seven home runs, seven doubles, seven triples, eight stolen bases, 31 RBI and 47 runs scored through 308 plate appearances. As long as he's hitting well, he should continue to handle a strong-side platoon role in center field, though there's nothing in his history to suggest an extended hot streak is on the way.
