Ramirez belted two three-run homers in Friday night's 9-4 win over the Diamondbacks. He was iffy Friday after sustaining a back injury Thursday, but notified manager John Farrell early that he'd be available.

EDGE Analysis

Ramirez had been in an 0-for-16 funk, but has strung together two consecutive multi-hit games Thursday and Friday. He now has eight homers in 86 at-bats in the second half, matching the number of homers he hit in 306 at-bats prior to the All-Star break.
