Wearing #45, the 2nd/3rd baseman went 1-for-3 in his at-batts during Friday night's game against the Minnesota Twins, including a walk and run scored, arizonasports.com reports.

Saturday night, Kennedy did the exact same thing and added his first professional triple.

During Sunday's game, Buddy went 1-for-4, but the '1' was an awesome thing, putting up his first MLB home run which also happened to be a grand slam on a 3-0 count.
