Brown went 2-for-3 with a walk and a run in a loss to the Brewers on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Brown recorded the only multi-hit effort for the Athletics on a relatively quiet night for the offense, snapping a brief three-game hitless skid in the process. The 32-year-old is showing some modest signs of life at the plate of late, with Friday's performance his third multi-hit tally in the last six starts. That stretch is a microcosm of the improvement Brown has shown since being promoted from Triple-A Las Vegas on July 11, as he sports a .302 average, .873 OPS, eight extra-base hits, 14 RBI, six walks and 10 runs in the 94 plate appearances he's logged across 30 games over that span.
