Lara goes back-to-back with Player of the Week awards, and he has finally hit his way up to AA. He left the Cal League on a tear, hitting .500/.542/.1.227 for the week and his 1.022 OPS is the third-best mark in the circuit this season. Lara homered in five-straight games and finished his Cal League stint on a 17-game hitting streak before being promoted to AA Jackson.
