BJ Murray’s heater continues in Triple-A, and based on everything we’ve seen over the last week or so, Ian Lewis may be trying to join in on that momentum down in Double-A.

Lewis had a monster series for the Pensacola Blue Wahoos against the Biloxi Shuckers in the Southern League.

The Miami Marlins prospect had a four-game hit streak, where he went 5-for-15, which included two home runs, a triple, seven RBI, and five runs scored.

Murray is still keeping pace among the top hitters in the International League for the Iowa Cubs.

His .343 average ranks third in the International League.

Coming off a three-hit game against Louisville in their series finale, he followed with a hit in every game of the four-game stretch against St. Paul.
