Ben Zobrist had a nice night at the dish on Tuesday, going 3-for-5 as the Rays downed the Blue Jays 4-3.

He put the Rays on the board in the fifth inning with an RBI double off Henderson Alvarez. After a poor start to the 2012 campaign, Zobrist has started to come on strong as of late. Though his average still sits at .234, he has drawn 30 walks, scored 21 times and driven home 17. He seems to factor into the Tampa Bay attack on a nightly basis.

Ben Zobrist homered for the second straight game Monday while also walking and scoring two runs in a win over the Blue Jays.

The two nice games followed a slump that had dropped his average to .198. It’s still at just .218 now, but Zobrist has gone deep six times and knocked 10 other extra-base hits. He’ll be fine.
