Newman went 1-for-5 with a home run and two RBI in a 3-2 victory over the Brewers on Friday.
The rookie again extended his hitting streak to 18 games, homering in each of the last three games. During his streak, Newman is hitting .378 (28-for-74) with nine extra-base hits, 14 RBI and nine runs. On the year, he is batting .330 with five home runs, 29 RBI and 20 runs in 191 at-bats. The power surge is especially impressive given that Newman never hit more than five home runs in any of his four minor-league seasons.
