August 8, 2020 10:13 PM : Newman went 4-for-5 with an RBI double in an 11-5 loss to the Tigers on Saturday.
Analysis: He lifted his batting average to a season-high .262. Newman has batted second in the lineup nine times in 11 starts after hitting leadoff almost exclusively in the second half of 2019. The 27-year-old collected a walkoff hit -- the fifth in his short career -- in Thursday's win and appears back on track following a slow start.
