Swipes 42nd base Saturday Ruiz went 1-for-4 with a double, a walk, a stolen base and a run in an extra-inning win over the White Sox on Saturday. Impact Ruiz made his 15th appearance out of the bottom of the order this season but still found multiple ways to contribute, extending a modest hitting streak to three games in the process. The speedy outfielder has been consistently delivering at the plate since mid-June, as he owns a .286 average with four doubles, five RBI, three walks, 11 steals and four runs in his last 15 games. Therefore, despite the occasional cameo in the No. 9 hole, Ruiz should still continue operating out of the top of the order more often than not.
