Jul 3 Bourn had two hits, a stolen base and two runs scored in the Astros' 7-2 win over the Padres on Thursday.

Advice: Bourn, batting .291 on the season, had been 2 for 18 over his previous four games. He has 26 multihit games this season after totaling 31 in 2008, his first season with his hometown Astros.

STATS LLC


Jul 2 Bourn leads the National League in steals (25), triples (6) and infield hits (20), the Houston Chronicle reports.

Recommendation: It's been a breakthrough year for the 26-year-old outfielder. While Bourn will record more than his share of strikeouts, his walk rate has increased dramatically this season, which bodes well for his long-term success atop the Astros' lineup.
