Luciano, who hit 1-4 in the game, has had a solid season while adjusting to the disappointment of being assigned to AAA rather than being placed on the Opening Day roster. A pessimist sees that Luciano isn't doing nearly as much of the thing he's supposed to do well, and is concerned. An optimist sees that Luciano is doing a whole lot of the stuff he's not supposed to do well, and is excited and encouraged by the thought of what will happen when the strengths catch up.
Curiously, it's been the power that has held Luciano back to good numbers rather than great ones. This was Luci's first homer of the year, and just his 7th extra-base hit in 97 plate appearances, leading to a .113 ISO.
