Olson went 2-for-5 with a three-run home run in Tuesday's 4-3 extra-innings win over the Astros.
EDGE Analysis
The first baseman's 21st homer of the year was a big one, as he took Roberto Osuna deep in the ninth inning to send the game to extras. Olson is now slashing a strong .262/.344/.555 through 69 games on the year.

Olson, who went 1-for-3 with two walks in a loss to the Twins on Sunday, now has a 16-game hitting streak.
EDGE Analysis
Due to the fact just three of those games have included multi-hit efforts, Olson's average has only risen a relatively modest 12 points to .261 over that stretch. However, the 25-year-old has slugged four home runs and six extra-base hits overall during the streak. Additionally, his current .261/.345/.550 line includes one career-best figure (batting average), while the two other components qualify as the second highest of his big-league tenure.

Olson went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run Tuesday in the Athletics' 8-6 win over the Twins.
EDGE Analysis
Any concerns about Olson's ability to hit for power coming off March surgery to repair a broken hamate bone in his right hand have dissipated at this point. Since coming off the injured list in early May, Olson has mashed 17 home runs in just 50 games, putting him on track to surpass his career-high 29 from 2018, when he needed the full 162-game slate to achieve that production.

Olson has hit five homers in his last seven games, batting .400 (10-for-25) during the recent power surge. He's up to 16 homers, 32 RBI and 28 runs scored in 49 games this season.

Olson went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Thursday's loss at Angel Stadium.
EDGE Analysis
Olson crushed a 422-foot homer off Griffin Canning in the fourth inning. The 25-year-old now has seven homers in June and 14 on the season. Not bad, considering he missed over a month while on the injured list. Overall, Olson is hitting .244/.328/.540 with 27 RBI and 26 runs scored over 176 plate appearances.

Olson went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and two runs in a 7-3 victory against the Cardinals on Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
The 25-year-old began the scoring with his solo shot in the second. That gives him six homers this month and 13 on the year. That's not a bad number considering Olson missed all of April. He is batting .244 with a .536 slugging percentage, 23 extra-base hits, 26 RBI and 25 runs in 168 at-bats this season.
