Alonso went 1-for-2 with a solo home run in Friday's 6-1 Cactus League victory over the Giants.

EDGE Analysis

Alonso went deep for the first time this spring by launching a Jeff Samardzija pitch to left in the second to open the scoring on the day. The 29-year-old first baseman re-upped with Oakland this offseason on a one-year, $4 million deal after slashing .253/.316/.367 with 34 doubles, seven homers and 56 RBI over 156 games in his 2016 debut campaign with the club. Alonso remains atop the depth chart at first, with the emerging Ryon Healy, who also homered in Friday's win, capable of serving as a right-handed option against southpaws.
