Fortes went 0-for-4 with a stolen base and a run scored in Saturday's 5-1 win over the Astros.
ANALYSISFortes got aboard on an error and stole second in the second inning. Speed typically isn't a big component of a catcher's game -- this was Fortes' first steal in six contests this season, and he's never had more than six in a season in the minors. The 25-year-old has been limited to 24 plate appearances, but he's racked up seven hits, including two home runs, six RBI and 10 runs scored through six contests this season. Continued success at the plate could see Fortes begin to chip away at
Jacob Stallings' playing time.
