Adam Eaton was really on a bit of a roll before he left Thursday's game in the first inning with umpteenth leg injury flare-up of the season. For the month of June, Eaton is hitting .322/.401/.478 with 12 walks and five triples in 102 plate appearances.

Thanks to the hot streak, his season-to-date could be broken down into three distinct periods.

Pre-DL stint: .276/.363/.378, 9.7 BB% in 113 PAs.

Post-DL stint in May: .232/.232/.250, 0.0 BB% in 56 PAs.

June: .322/.401/.478, 11.8 BB% in 102 PAs.
