by Jeff Lippman | CBSSports.com

Ben Zobrist had a career-high five hits in Monday's loss at home to the Red Sox in 14 innings. Zobrist went 5 for 7 from the No. 2 spot in the order. 

The Rays' utility player, who saw time at second base and the outfield during the game, doubled twice and drove in and scored a run. He also struck out twice and is batting .274. 

Zobrist has hit in seven straight games and is 13 for 27 (.481) over that stretch with four doubles, a homer and three RBI. He's scored eight runs during the streak.

Ben Zobrist better than you think
by Scott White | Senior Fantasy Writer

Chances are if you drafted the Rays' Ben Zobrist in Fantasy, you're disappointed with the results so far. After all, he's on pace for only eight home runs and 10 stolen bases, which would be his lowest totals for any season since he broke through as a Fantasy mainstay in 2009.

But he's also on pace for 87 runs scored and 90 RBI -- not bad. In fact, the only middle infielders outperforming him in both categories are Troy Tulowitzki and Brandon Phillips. It's those walks and doubles and action -- two of the more overlooked stats for hitters -- and judging Zobrist's track record, neither is likely to let up.

Plus, no one's saying he won't make up ground in those other categories. Through June 6 last year, he was batting .199 with six home runs and five stolen bases, and we all know how that turned out.

Even with this slow start, Zobrist has been the fifth-best shortop and the sixth-best second baseman in Fantasy, so just let him do what he does and try not to worry so much.
