Kirk went 3-for-4 with one RBI and one run scored in Tuesday's loss to the Orioles.
The All-Star catcher recorded three more hits Tuesday, as he continues to show why he was the AL's starting backstop in the Midsummer Classic. Kirk's excellent performance has been no fluke as he is above the 90th percentile among all MLB hitters in strikeout rate, average exit velocity, xwOBA and xBA. Expect Kirk to continue putting up strong ratios and counting stats batting routinely in the heart of interim manager John Schneider's lineup.
