Seeing Marcell Ozuna flourish at the plate for the better part of two months now has taken some pressure off Rosario to be a power bat from the left-hand side. At that point, Rosario moseyed back to second but turned his head just as Jorge Polanco darted in, caught the throw from Simmons and applied the tag for a very unconventional strike-him-out-throw-him-out double play. is playing at an MVP level this season, he will hit a slump at some point.
