Johnson has three multi-hit games in his four-game hitting streak.

IF Grant Kay, ABL

This week: 9 AB, 2 BB, 3 K
Offseason: 9 AB, .000/.250/.000

Kay is more experienced than the usual hitter who goes to Australia, so I’d imagine he’ll turn it around quickly.

Qsar’s on-base percentage dropped below .500 for the first time since Dec. 12, but he did extend his hitting streak to six games and hit three home runs.
