Legs two steals in Friday's loss Simpson went 1-for-4 with a walk and two steals during Tampa Bay's 6-5 loss to Baltimore on Friday.

Impact Simpson stole second base in both the first and ninth innings of Friday's game, though neither of those moves resulted in a run scored for the speedy outfielder. He's logged two steals in two of his last three outings and six times this season. Simpson's 35 swipes are second-most in the majors behind Nasim Nunez (40), and the former's .306 batting average is ranked fifth.
