Swipes 20th bag Bichette went 2-for-5 with an RBI and a stolen base in Saturday's 3-2 extra-inning win over the Tigers.

Impact The shortstop got busy on the basepaths quickly, swiping his 20th bag of the season in the first inning, but Bichette was then caught stealing for the first time all year when he tried to take third as well. The 23-year-old is having a sluggish August overall, slashing .227/.262/.289 through 24 games with only one homer, and his fade is part of the reason the Jays find themselves slipping out of playoff contention.
