Goes deep in rout Hoerner went 2-for-5 with a solo home run and an additional run scored in Friday's 12-1 win over the Cardinals.
Impact Hoerner popped his seventh home run of the season in the first inning, making him one of four Chicago players to go deep. The speedy infielder isn't known for his power, as his career high in homers is only 10, and he appears likely to finish with a single-digit total for the third straight year. Hoerner is a great source of steals, however, as he has 29 of them this season in 35 attempts, and he's swiped 103 bags since the start of 2023.

Hoerner also has 29 stolen bases this season, putting him within striking distance of his third straight 30-steal campaign.

Scores three times, swipes base Hoerner went 2-for-4 with a walk, a stolen base and three runs scored in Wednesday's 8-4 win over the Pirates.
Impact Hoerner made his three times on base count, as he scored three runs and also swiped his 28th base of the season in 34 attempts. The speedy infielder is locked in at the plate, as he's now batting a sizzling .410 across 15 games this month. That has pushed Hoerner's season-long batting average up to .303, which would be a new career best and is currently good for seventh in the majors.
