Braves second baseman Tommy La Stella wrapped up his first half Sunday by going 3 for 5 with a double and three RBI in his team's 10-7 win over the Cubs.

La Stella has been a revelation for the Braves at second base, posting a .292/.371/.357 line with 17 RBI, 19 walks and 20 strikeouts in 154 at-bats. Dan Uggla, the former starter at the position, has hit just .162/.241/.231 with two home runs, 10 RBI, 10 walks and 40 strikeouts in 130 at-bats. If La Stella can maintain his OBP in the second half, it'll be the higest on-base percentage the Braves have had by a regular at the second base position since Kelly Johnson posted a .375 OBP in 2007.
