Straw went 1-for-2 with a double, three walks, a run scored and a stolen base in Saturday's 3-2 win over Cleveland.
EDGE Analysis
The 26-year-old thrived in the leadoff role, crossing the plate in the first inning after driving the game's first pitch for a double and then swiping his 13th bag of the year in the ninth with the Astros looking for some insurance runs. Straw has been locked in since the beginning of June, slashing .323/.415/.434 with two homers, seven steals, 11 RBI and 19 runs in 29 games.

Straw went 0-for-2 with two walks and a stolen base in Tuesday's 13-3 loss to the Orioles. He was also caught stealing once.
EDGE Analysis
Straw saw an end to his seven-game hitting streak, but he extended an on-base streak to 10 games and has inched up to a .349 OBP. Being better at getting on base was a goal he set for himself in spring training, and he's succeeded on that front. The other aim -- 50 steals -- will be harder to reach. He's stolen 12 bases thus far, but Straw appears to be striving for that lofty objective. He's attempted four steals in the last five games.

He's also collected two steals in those contests to improve his team-leading total to 11 on the season.

Straw went 4-for-6 with three runs scored and a stolen base during Thursday's win over the Tigers.
EDGE Analysis
All of his hits were singles, but Straw seems to be heating up as of late, tallying nine hits over the last four games with one homer in that span. Across 71 games this season, the 26-year-old is slashing .264/.335/.333 with two long balls while swiping 10 bags.

Straw went 2-for-4 with a solo home and a second RBI in Tuesday's 3-1 win over Baltimore.
EDGE Analysis
Straw was the hitting star for Houston's powerful lineup. He belted a second-inning solo blast, his second of the season, then delivered the go-ahead and winning run in the top of the seventh. In between those two events, Straw made a diving catch on Cedric Mullins' sinking liner in the third inning to save that frame from snowballing. The center fielder has turned around his season since early May, hitting .297 with a .352 on-base percentage over 142 plate appearances since May 10.
