Brett Bateman finished 2-for-4 with a double and two RBI in the Blue Jays’ 5-3 win over the Red Sox on Tuesday.

It’s been a little surprising to see Bateman getting starts against lefties here at the beginning of his major league career, but he doubled and singled off Patrick Sandoval to make a big difference in the victory tonight. He’s 6-for-22 through five games, and he should offer some value in deeper leagues as long as he continues to play regularly and hit first or second for the Jays.
