Valbuena went 2-for-5 with a two-run home run in Monday's 3-2 extra-innings loss to the Athletics.

EDGE Analysis

Valbuena's first home run of the year came in the first inning off Kendall Graveman, and it was the only offense the Angels would muster for the rest of the game. The 31-year-old lefty now has six hits in his first 19 at-bats and should see the strong side of a platoon at first base with Jefry Marte until C.J. Cron (foot, wrist) returns from the disabled list.
