Many Angels fans were not pleased when the team traded away C.J. Cron in the offseason for what seemed to be a fairly underwhelming return. That return was Luis Rengifo, and Rengifo has been working to change those minds, one spectacular play at a time this year. On Monday, Rengifo went 3-4 with a triple, 2 RBI, 3 runs scored, and a walk to excite the Salt Lake lineup.

Once vilified in the Marlins system for poor judgment in antics in the clubhouse, Josh Naylor has really redefined himself this season. He’s significantly slimmer, more agile at first base and even able to handle time in the outfield, and his bat has also responded, as he’s hitting .317/.403/.479 on the season. Monday, he didn’t go deep, but he was impactful as he went 2-4 with a pair of doubles, driving in 3 runs and drawing a walk for San Antonio.
