Cesar Hernandez extended his hitting streak to 10 games and stole two more bases in a 3-for-4 performance on Sunday, helping the Phillies end a six-game losing skid in a 4-0, 10-inning victory against the Atlanta Braves. He also made a stellar defensive play in the bottom of the 10th in support of Jonathan Papelbon. Hernandez is hitting .299/.385/.385 with 11 stolen bases in 202 plate appearances on the year, doing an admirable job filling in for the injured Chase Utley at second base.
Hernandez has quickly become a fan favorite as he’s one of a select few hitters in the lineup that has actually done anything productive at the plate over the course of the season.
