Casey Kotchman went 3-for-5 with a home run and three RBI in Sunday's loss to the Rays. Kotchman singled home two runs in the second before taking James Shields deep for a solo shot in the fourth. Coming off a June where he hit just .229/.247/.349, Kotchman is now 10 for his first 24 in July (.416), and has driven in seven runs in eight games. He's still not a recommended option in mixed leagues, of course.
