Rockies infielder DJ LeMahieu continued to swing a hot bat on Tuesday, as he drove in a run and had hit safely in all eight games this season. He finished 1 for 2 with a walk and a run scored in a 4-1 victory. LeMahieu is hitting .516 (16 for 31) with a triple and six RBI this season.
"It was just a matter of time for DJ," manager Walt Weiss said, per the Denver Post. "Sometimes for guys like DJ, it takes a little bit longer to grab attention from those outside the game, and maybe even some inside the game. But as far as we are concerned around here, we know how valuable he is.
"Over time, people start to appreciate him more. But it's also hard to ignore his hot start."
