'Pretty swing' helping Michael Brantley's average

After managing just two multi-hit games in his first 14 appearances, Indians outfielder Michael Brantley has totaled 16 multi-hit games in his last 33 appearances, including five of his last seven games heading into Sunday against the Red Sox.

Brantley's batting average has gone from .240 to .316 in his last 33 games thanks to a .346 average in that span.

"He's got a really pretty swing," manager Terry Francona said, per MLB.com. "He's got a swing that doesn't need a lot of maintenance. By that, I mean there's not a lot of moving parts. As you get more at-bats and more experience and know the league, it wouldn't shock me if he hits for more power."
