Drew Maggi has been scorching the baseball since being reinstated after missing the first fifty games of the season due to testing positive for amphetamines. So far he has ten at bats and is batting .400 in five total games. His OPS is a team high .900 which means he is a guy who can provide power in the lineup. Brandon Guyer also powered the offense over the weekend hitting his first two home runs of the season. The bats struggle to remain consistent, as it has been a problem all year long so far. The offense has produced so far against the Bats scoring seven runs in game one, and six in the second contest.
