Alonso went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Tuesday's 9-1 loss to the Twins.

EDGE Analysis

After hitting seven homers in 156 games last season, Alonso already has five through 24 games in 2017 to go along with a strong .292/.363/.556 slash line. There have been bigger early-season success stories around the majors, but that doesn't make the 30-year-old's improvement as a power hitter any less dramatic.
