On Wednesday, Colorado Rockies outfielder Raimel Tapia had a great game. He went 3-for-5 with two doubles, three RBI, and a good defensive play out in the outfield.
He played well again on Thursday, going 3-for-5 with an RBI, part of a Rockies sweep of the Texas Rangers.
If he keeps playing like that, there’s not much reason to move Tapia out of the leadoff spot.
