Alonso was 2-for-3 with a walk and a run scored in Saturday's 5-3 victory over the Royals.

EDGE Analysis

The 29-year-old came in to Saturday's contest in a slump of mammoth proportions, having tallied only two hits in his first 33 at-bats of the season. The two singles he managed were therefore a vastly welcome sight for the offseason acquisition, who managed a solid .282/.361/.381 line over 402 plate appearances with the Padres in 2015. While Saturday's production only served to up his average to a measly .139, it's possible the success he encountered could jump start his normally reliable bat.
