Great to see Rhys Hoskins coming around a little bit.
Building on getting his first and hit and RBI against the Mets on Sunday, Hoskins started the road trip by blasting two home runs out of the cleanup spot.

yea Rhys!
time for Franco to hit the bleachers, guy stinks
yeah looking more like. Stinks because that guy was supposed to be a piece.
Bring us Machado!
In good news though Crawford hit .281 in July and .333 in August. Rounding into form. Maybe with Franco potentially being on the outs, they find a spot at 3rd for Hernandez or Galvis.
