A couple things you may notice from the stats, which are equally mirrored on the field, is that Jake Lamb and Yasmany Tomas are really playing comparable games right now. It’s clear that Tomas has the bigger bat and Lamb is a much more advanced fielder, but they are both playing like top five players on the team, so it should be of no surprise that both will continue to get a healthy number of at-bats. Robbie Ray had an interesting line with four each of hits, walks, and strikeouts; however, he pitched fairly well.
