Noel went 2-for-3 with a solo home run in Wednesday's 8-1 loss to the Yankees.
The rookie spoiled New York's combined shutout bid when he took Tim Mayza deep in the eighth inning. Noel has seized the starting job in right field, going yard four times in the last eight games while batting .320 (8-for-25). The surge has pushed the 23-year-old's slash line on the season to .257/.321/.594 with 10 homers and 19 RBI in 112 plate appearances.
