What happened: He stole second after a first-inning walk, then took second and third in the third before scoring on a grounder. His fifth-inning solo shot extended the lead to 5-1.

Why it matters: Before Bolte, the last player for his club to combine a homer with at least three steals in one game did it on Oct. 5, 1991. The performance came five days after his first career two-homer game.

By the numbers: His season stolen-base total rose from 14 to 17. The homer traveled 340 feet at 104.2 mph with a 25-degree launch angle off a 95.7 mph fastball.

What to watch: Watch whether he remains aggressive on the bases through the rest of the series.
