Duvall went 1-for-3 with a go-ahead three-run homer and a walk in Saturday's 6-3 victory over the Nationals.
EDGE Analysis
The 27-year-old outfielder now has homers in three straight games, and his 407-foot blast to left proved to be the difference Saturday. Duvall's round-tripper off reliever Felipe Rivero plated Joey Votto and Jay Bruce, breaking a 3-3 tie in the eighth inning. He's on an astounding long-ball tear, having blasted homers in five of his last six games, while also tallying multi-hit efforts in five of his last nine contests. Duvall's 16 homers now lead the Reds, and his .619 slugging percentage is a testament to his considerable power.

Duvall went 2-for-4 with a double, solo homer and two runs scored in Friday's 7-2 victory over the Nationals.
EDGE Analysis
The emerging 27-year-old blasted 11 homers in May, and seems to be in the same mindset during the new month. Duvall has homers in two of the first three games in June, and multi-hit efforts in both of those contests as well. His 15 total roundtrippers lead the team, while he's third on the club with 32 RBI.

Duvall went 2-for-5 with a home run, two RBI and two runs scored in Thursday's win over the Rockies.
EDGE Analysis
The home run was Duvall's 14th of the season and seventh in his last 11 games. He will have a great chance to keep the momentum going with the Reds set to begin a nine-game homestand Friday, although that's not to undersell what he's done away from Great American Ballpark (.269/.281/.591 on the road). Duvall has drawn all of six walks this season, but he's crushing same-handed pitching to the tune of a .596 slugging percentage.

Duvall went 2-for-5 with two home runs and three RBI in Monday's win over the Rockies.
EDGE Analysis
Duvall has been raging hot of late, going 7-for-17 with four home runs and 10 RBI in his last four games. After years of providing big power in the minor leagues, Duvall has finally found a foothold in the Cincinnati lineup. The outfielder is hitting .271 with 13 homers and 29 RBI for the season.

Duvall will start at third base Sunday against the Brewers.
EDGE Analysis
Duvall has not made a start in the infield yet this season, but the immense struggles of Eugenio Suarez have forced manager Bryan Price to explore some unorthodox options. A respectable .875 OPS has earned Duvall consistent playing time in 2016, so the Reds will give him a look at the hot corner while Tyler Holt gets the start in left field. If Suarez can't right the ship eventually, this lineup arrangement could be something Price considers once again, provided Duvall is not a defensive liability at third.

Duvall went 2-for-5 with a three-run home run, four RBI, two runs and a strikeout Saturday against the Brewers.
EDGE Analysis
The 27-year-old continues to impress despite a lack of plate discipline. Duvall has brought seven runs to the plate in the last two games, and he's slugged an impressive .600 to go along with four homers and 10 RBI over the last 10 games.

Duvall went 2-for-4 with a three-run homer in Friday's 9-5 loss to the Brewers.
EDGE Analysis
The 27-year-old got things started for the Reds in the first inning with a 384-foot shot to left field off Zach Davies that plated Brandon Phillips and Jay Bruce. The blast continues a long-ball tear for Duvall in May, as he's now launched eight homers during the month, and has driven in 17 runs in the process. An almost complete lack of walks (six) has kept his OBP down to a mediocre .293, but he's managed an impressive .556 slugging percentage due to the considerable pop in his bat.

Duvall is batting fifth in Tuesday's lineup against the Dodgers.
EDGE Analysis
Duvall's move up is part of a big overall shift for the Reds, starting with Joey Votto moving to second, and everyone behind him moving up one spot. The players moving down in the order are the slumping Eugenio Suarez and Billy Hamilton, hitting sixth and seventh respectively.

Duvall went 1-for-4 in Sunday's loss to the Mariners with a solo shot, his eighth home run of the season.
EDGE Analysis
He's emerged as a solid stick in left field, slashing .299/.324/.642 in 67 May at-bats with six home runs, 12 RBI and 12 runs scored. The rebuilding Reds have some outfield prospects knocking at the door behind Duvall, but as long as he keeps hitting he should remain in the starting lineup.
