Madris went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Tuesday's 7-1 win over the Cubs.
In his second MLB game, the 26-year-old rookie clubbed a Mark Leiter offering over the wall in right-center field in the seventh inning to cap the scoring on the night. Madris has hit the ground running since his promotion, going 4-for-8 with a double, a homer, a stolen base, two runs and three RBI and building on the breakout .304/.385/.519 line he posted for Triple-A Indianapolis over 46 games.
