Eloy Jimenez extended his hitting streak to 10 games in style Sunday, going 2-for-3 with a double and his sixth homer of the season.
Just as impressive as the homer, Jimenez has a six-game multi-hit streak. As he approaches his Birmingham game total from the year before, it seems like he doesn't have much more to accomplish there:

- 2018: .319/.347/.652, 4 BB, 12 K over 75 PA
