Jung went 3-for-5 with two home runs and three RBI during Wednesday's 12-7 loss to the Diamondbacks.
EDGE Analysis
Righty Brandon Pfaadt was making his MLB debut for Arizona, and Jung helped welcome him to the big leagues with long balls in the fourth and fifth innings. Jung has showcased his power early this season and has an .866 OPS with eight home runs and 24 RBI through 28 games, but he remains susceptible to punchouts with a 32.5 percent strikeout rate.

Jung went 2-for-4 with a grand slam, a double, a walk, five RBI and three runs scored in Sunday's 15-2 win over the Yankees.
EDGE Analysis
Jung collected his first career grand slam in the first inning after taking Nestor Cortes deep to right field to open up a 4-0 lead for the Rangers. He would reach base again after a bases loaded walk in the sixth and then later doubled in the eighth and came around to score both times. The 25-year-old is now slashing .270/.324/.500 with six homers, 21 RBI, 18 runs and a 7:35 BB:K over 108 plate appearances. He's certainly put himself in the early conversation for AL Rookie of the Year after a fast start to kick off the first month of the season.
