Marlins 2B Dee Gordon closing in on NL stolen-base crown

Marlins second baseman Dee Gordon knocked two hits, scored two runs and swiped two bases during Sunday's win over Atlanta.

The Marlins offense has finally found some consistency in September despite missing Giancarlo Stanton, and Gordon's stellar play at the top of the lineup is a large factor. The speedy second baseman has piled up 56 steals on the year, while batting a robust .332/.356/.412 with 82 runs and 43 RBI over 626 plate appearances.

Gordon is one steal behind Billy Hamilton, who is out for the year with a shoulder injury, for the major-league lead and has six games left to earn his second straight stolen base crown.
