Minor Matters: Lorenzo Cain Awaits his Chance

So two months into the season, Cain remains at Triple-A and he continues to put up strong numbers. He’s gone a bit chilly lately, with hitless efforts in two of his last three games, but after getting off to a slow start, Cain blazed in May, batting .321 with 21 runs, 16 extra-base hits and a 900 OPS. He’s only swiped five bases so far, but is showing more extra-base power than he did last season.
