He went 2-for-2 before being lifted from Saturday\u2019s game, didn\u2019t play Sunday, went 5-for-5 with a homer and a double (his first two extra-base hits of the season) on Monday and started off 5-for-5 with another homer and three infield singles tonight. Just the homers in back-to-back games is surprising enough from Tolbert. He was without a homer in his previous 49 games between Triple-A and the majors this season. He had four in 129 minor league games in 2024 and four in 93 games between Triple-A and the majors last season. Before going 2-for-2 on Saturday, he was hitting .200 in 35 major league at-bats this season. He\u2019s now at .396. He also has 10 steals after getting one tonight. Tolbert probably won\u2019t keep hitting, but he is an elite basestealer and the Royals figure to give him regular playing time for at least a little while after this surge. Those needing steals could do worse.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Yeah, Tyler Tolbert.
