O’Hearn, a two-time All-Star and career renaissance man, is crushing it with a .285 average, 13 homers, and 51 RBIs, while Lowe is dominating at second base with 20 homers and 57 RBIs.

With the bullpen needing to click, they’re confident this squad can turn things around and make a serious run in the second half.
