Blanco recorded two stolen bases and a run scored as a pinch runner in Tuesday's 5-0 win over the Yankees.
ANALYSIS

Blanco hasn't logged an at-bat over four games in September, but he's picked up three steals and three runs scored off the bench. The speedy outfielder is up to 28 steals on 34 attempts to go with four home runs, 13 RBI, 35 runs scored and a .265/.315/.402 slash line over 128 plate appearances.
