Tyler Naquin was thrust into the starting lineup early this season when Jesse Winker came down with an illness over the weekend. He immediately took advantage of the opportunity in a big way against Pittsburgh on Tuesday night, dingering in his first two at bats, one of which left the stadium, and driving in a career-high 7 on a 3-hit evening. As we all expected, Naquin now leads the majors in RBI 5-games into the season. Have a night.
Honorable mentions are due to: Wade Miley, who threw 6 stellar innings, allowing only 3 hits, no runs, and 1 walk while striking out 6; Nick Senzel, who went 3 for 4 with a walk and 4 runs scored; Jonathan India, who also had 3 hits, including his first career triple, with 4 RBI; and Mike Moustakis, who went 2 for 3 and scored twice.
