Matt Wieters went 2-for-4 with a home run against the Royals on Wednesday.
The homer was Wieters' 14th of the year, giving him 48 RBI as well. It was his fourth straight multi-hit game, and he's 9-for-17 (.529) in those four games. The catcher is a streaky hitter, and right now he's red hot.

Matt Wieters launched his 13th homer of the year Friday against the Rangers.
It was his only hit in four at-bats, but proved a valuable run in the 3-1 victory. Wieters is batting a sickly .232 to go with a .706 OPS, but at least he's on pace to post his third straight 20-homer season.

Matt Wieters launched a two-run homer Friday against the Yankees.
His second-inning blast was the only offense of the night for Baltimore. Wieters now has 11 home runs for the season, including eight from the left side of the plate. The 27-year-old has been a disappointment so far this season, but we still see him as a top-10 catcher in mixed leagues the rest of the way.

Matt Wieters homered Monday after entering the game in a 4-for-37 slump.
Not that 5-for-40 is anything to be excited about. The homer was Wieters' 10th, so he's right about on his usual pace there. Unfortunately, it comes with just a .230 average and 24 runs scored. We still have to figure he'll go on a hot streak at some point.

Matt Wieters is batting seventh Monday for only the second time in the 2013 regular season.
Wieters has been serving primarily as the O's sixth hitter this season, but the 27-year-old catcher has a weak .209/.243/.328 batting line in 18 games this month. J.J. Hardy will bat sixth Monday against the Indians.
