Escobar just continues to tear the cover off the ball, hitting an absurd .410 (16-for-39) with three jacks, eight RBIs and seven runs scored over a fiery 10-game hitting streak. The versatile infielder now has 10 jacks on the year and continues to be a rock-solid mixed-league option.

Yunel Escobar went 3-for-3 with a homer and three RBI on Thursday night, leading the Braves offense in an 8-4 victory over the Rockies. Escobar drew a walk in the game as well, and appears to be over the sore shoulder that was bothering him over the past week. The run production tonight was nice, but he still seems out of place as a No. 5 hitter, which is where he's been placed lately after spending much of the season at the top of the lineup.
