Lucroy went 1-for-5 with a two-run double in a win over the Tigers on Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
His fourth-inning two-run double plated Stephen Piscotty and Mark Canha, cutting the Athletics' deficit to 6-3 at the time. June has been a month of timely hitting for the veteran backstop, who now has 11 RBI for the month and has reached safely in eight consecutive games.

Lucroy, who went 3-for-4 with an RBI single and a run in a win over the Tigers on Monday, is hitting .305 over 66 plate appearances in June.
EDGE Analysis
The surge has raised the veteran catcher's season average 15 points to .268, putting it much more in line with his .281 career figure. What hasn't changed is Lucroy's power drought, as he still has just one home run on the season. Making it all the more confounding is the fact that Lucroy is actually making hard contact at a career-best 39.5 percent rate, but that number at least lends credence to the notion he could eventually see a boost in his homer totals as the rest of the season unfolds.

Lucroy went 1-for-5 with a game-winning RBI single in an extra-innings victory over the Angels on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
Lucroy had endured a rough afternoon that included a pair of strikeouts by the time he stepped up to the plate with the bases loaded and one out in the 11th. The veteran backstop was able to come through, lacing a 1-0 single to center to plate Jed Lowrie with the winning run. It's been a month of timely hitting for Lucroy thus far, as his seven June RBI already exceed his total for all of May.
