Rosario's 10th HR puts rookie in rarefied air

Rosario became the 18th rookie dating back to 1901 to reach double-digits in homers, triples, doubles and stolen bases, joining Rookie of the Year winners such as Ramirez (2006), Nomar Garciaparra (1997) and Gary Matthews Sr. (1973), according to baseball-reference.com. Other notable rookies to accomplish the feat include Jimmy Rollins (2001), Juan Samuel (1984), Joe Morgan (1965), Minnie Minoso (1951), Earl Averill (1929) and Tony Lazzeri (1926). He's also the sixth rookie to do it with at least 10 outfield assists and the first since Matthews in '73.

He's also the first player in the Majors to reach those figures this year, but fellow rookie Kevin Kaiermaier is two homers away from joining him.
