Alonso went 2-for-4 with two RBI from a single and a double in Friday's 7-2 loss to the Tigers.

EDGE Analysis

The veteran first baseman started rolling at the plate in spring training and hasn't cooled off yet, as evidenced by a .305/.387/.585 line that includes six homers, just one less than he hit all of last season. Friday's effort marked his third multi-hit outing in the last four games, and he's now driven in five runs in the last three games. Alonso is a prominent presence on Oakland's offensive leaderboard as well, with his .305 average, 19 RBI and .387 OBP all serving as high-water marks on the team.
