Olson went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run and a walk in a win over the Rangers on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
Olson took Drew Smyly deep in the second inning to drive in his fifth and sixth runs over the last six games. The slugging infielder now has nine homers on the season, a total he's compiled at a pace of just under one every three games. Olson's .227 average and .319 on-base percentage still have plenty of room for improvement, but his .504 slugging percentage and .823 OPS both qualify as the second-best figures of his career.

Olson went 2-for-4 with an RBI single, a double and a walk in a loss to the Angels on Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
Olson's first multi-hit effort since May 22 snapped an 0-for-15 skid that had encompassed his previous four contests. The slugging first baseman had gotten his average up to .238 as recently as May 29, but the aforementioned multi-game slide had prompted a 36-point tumble prior to Wednesday's production.

Olson went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run, a walk and two runs overall in an extra-innings loss to the Angels.
EDGE Analysis
Olson's 380-foot shot to right in the eighth knotted the game at 7-7 at the time and served as his second homer in as many games. The slugging infielder has made up for some lost time due to a stint on the injured list with a hand injury by racking up five multi-hit efforts, 10 extra-base hits (three doubles, seven home runs) and 12 RBI over his first 21 games back in action.

EDGE Analysis
