Saunders went 2-for-5 with a double and an RBI in Friday's game against the Royals.

EDGE Analysis

Saunders' night off Thursday must have helped clear his mind of the funk he'd been in. Entering Friday's contest, the outfielder was just 4-for-32 (.125) in his previous nine games. Over the past two seasons, Saunders has logged just 35 at-bats post All-Star break. The 29-year-old is looking to cap off a career season down the stretch of 2016, but it's reasonable to assume Saunders will be dealing with some tired legs as the campaign winds down.
