Gonzalez hit his second home run of the season in Thursday's 4-2 loss to the Mariners.

EDGE Analysis

That was the only hit the utility man tallied all evening, but it ended up being half of the offense put together by Houston. Gonzalez has now homered in each of his starts this season, and although he isn't expected to see an everyday role, it'll be tough for manager A.J. Hinch to keep him on the bench if he continues to make the most of his opportunities. That scenario is fairly unlikely given his past results, however, so Gonzalez will likely revert to the mean and settle back in as a bench option for Houston soon.
