Two RBI in win
Mesa went 2-for-3 with two RBI in Wednesday's 4-2 win against the Blue Jays.
Analysis
Mesa opened the scoring for the Rays in the second inning with an RBI single that plated Chandler Simpson and then provided a much-needed insurance run with a sixth-inning knock off Jeff Hoffman that drove home Junior Caminero. Mesa's bat has come alive in July after a rough June, and he's homered in three of his last four games while recording five RBI. With the recent surge, the 24-year-old has boosted his season slash line to .231/.319/.481 with eight home runs and 17 RBI over 120 plate appearances across 38 games.

Analysis

He has a .779 OPS with three steals and 15 RBI over 116 plate appearances this season.
