EDGE Analysis

He took Astros starter Hunter Brown deep in the seventh inning for the Athletics' only scoring play of the game. Brown has homered in back-to-back games, as it appears he's getting his timing back after a six-week stint on the injured list with an oblique injury. He's still hitting just .217 on the year, adding a .707 OPS, three long balls, seven RBI, four runs scored and a stolen base through 13 contests.
