In Tuesday night’s 6-3 road win over the Cincinnati Reds, Desmond went 1-for-2, blasting a two-run homer and drawing a pair of walks. It continued a recent hot streak for him as he has pieced together a .292/.433/.583 slash line over his last seven games, going 7-for-24 with a pair of home runs and six RBI. During that stretch, he’s also recorded as many RBI as strikeouts.
Yes, the term “hot streak” is still in the eye of the beholder, I know. Desmond is still hitting below .200 for the season heading into Wednesday’s series finale in Cincinnati.
