Avila went 2-for-4 with a walk, a solo home run and a second run scored in Tuesday's 5-3 loss to the Angels.

EDGE Analysis

It was his third straight start with a homer and his ninth blast of the season, but despite his productive line in the box score Avila fell short when it counted, striking out with the bases loaded to end the game in the ninth inning. James McCann (hand) should come off the DL in the next couple of days, but Avila's .324/.438/.648 slash line should keep him in the lineup on a regular basis.
