In 85 games he was 54-for-220 (.245), and 21 walks and one hit-by-pitch pushed his on-base percentage up to .314. He had 2 home runs, 11 runs batted in, and scored 18 runs. Cieslak made 15 errors in 122 total chances (.877). In five of his games Cieslak was a left fielder, and handled 12 chances without making an error.
