A monster night at the yard for The Riot, who is now hitting .340 (18-for-53) with six extra-base hits and six RBIs since the All-Star break.

Ryan Theriot went 3-for-3 with two walks and three RBI Wednesday as the Cubs won their third straight against the Brewers. Derek Lee, Reed Johnson, and Mark DeRosa drove in one run apiece. Alfonso Soriano stole a base, his 10th of the year, and scored two runs. Ryan Dempster even had a hit and scored a run. Theriot singled twice and hit a two-run triple. He is hitting .322 with 31 RBI this season. Oh, but he did get caught stealing. So cancel the celebration.

That's 16 swipes on the year for Theriot, who's posted quietly consistent numbers in July after having done the same in June. The third-year infielder is batting .333 through 100 at-bats this month, though he's managed just four extra-base hits (all doubles) and six RBIs in that span. He's worth a look from owners in need of steady middle-infield production who are already strong in the power department.

Theriot is batting .358 with a robust .422 on-base percentage this month. The 28-year-old has slowed a bit on the basepaths -- he was caught stealing on Friday and hasn't had a successful attempt since July 2 -- but he remains a viable mixed-league option with his hot bat.

Ryan Theriot extended his hitting streak to 11 games on Friday, going 1-for-3 with his thirteenth double of the season in Chicago's 2-1 loss to the Astros.Theriot is now hitting .320 on the season with 15 stolen bases.

He wants to do well, and he's got some nice tools."Theriot holds a .320 average, and is tied for the NL lead with 37 multi-hit games. He chipped in 15 stolen bases as well, and has proven to be among the biggest draft day steals over the first half of the season.
