Ryan Braun led off the fourth inning of tonight's game with a single, then stole second with Prince Fielder batting. Normally you wouldn't want runners risking outs with one of baseball's best sluggers at the plate, but it's hard to make a case against Braun stealing because when he goes he's almost certain to be safe.
Braun is 4-for-4 stealing bases in 2011, and went 14-for-17 last season. Among players who have been successful in at least six out of seven attempts, only five major leaguers have stolen more bases than Braun since Opening Day 2010:
| Player | SB | CS | % |
| Coco Crisp | 40 | 5 | 88.9% |
| Ben Zobrist | 29 | 3 | 90.6% |
| Denard Span | 28 | 4 | 87.5% |
| Franklin Gutierrez | 25 | 3 | 89.3% |
| Jimmy Rollins | 22 | 2 | 91.7% |
* - All those stats were entering tonight.
It's worth noting that Carlos Gomez isn't far from making this list too. He's 26-for-30 since Opening Day 2010.
