What happened: Ben Malgeri laid out to take away a sinking liner on the run. He produced at the plate in the same game.
Why it matters: The rookie debuted June 23 and hit his first career homer Aug. 1. Two-way games help his case for steady playing time down the stretch.
By the numbers: Debut June 23: 2-for-3, run; First HR Aug. 1; two-homer game Aug. 15.
What to watch: Watch his next starts to see if the bat and glove hold together.
