Alonso went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run in Saturday's 6-5 loss to the Rangers.
EDGE Analysis
Alonso got his average back up over .300 with the effort, which included a 383-foot solo shot in the eighth that brought Oakland within a run. The veteran first baseman's newfound power has been particularly valuable in a season in which Khris Davis has struggled and Marcus Semien has been lost for an extended period due to a wrist injury. Factoring in Saturday's production, Alonso is hitting .342 with eight homers and 15 RBI over just 45 plate appearances in May.
