Eli is Streaking Again: With another hit Tuesday in Memphis, Eli White has another 5-game hitting streak - his third streak of at least 5 games. Over his last 5, White is hitting .300 (6-for-18) with 3 runs scored, 1 home run, 2 RBI and 2 walks. His longest hitting streak of the season was 11 games from April 17-30.
