Eric Thames continues to leadoff for Brewers

by Brad Richter | Wed, Aug 23rd 7:42am EDT

Eric Thames was slotted into the leadoff spot for his fourth straight game on Tuesday during the Brewers' 4-3 win over the Giants. Thames tripled off Jeff Samardzija and came around the score on a sac fly in the seventh inning. He finished the game 1-for-4 with a walk.

Fantasy Impact:

Thames is batting .235 (4-for-19) with a double and three triples in his four games hitting at the top of the order. He is far from your typical leadoff hitter since he strikes out too much but manager Craig Counsell appears to be sticking with it on the current road trip. Thames may sit on Wednesday with the Giants' lefty Matt Moore on the hill.
