"We knew he had it in him," manager Pete Mackanin said. "I think the shorter swing is making the difference for him. I hope it continues, and if it continues, we're going to have to find a way to keep him in the lineup. We know how good a defensive player he is, and he can run. He only has 50 at-bats, so we'll take another look at it after another 50 at-bats."
