Kepler went 1-for-4 with a solo home run and a walk in Thursday's victory over the Mariners.

The third-inning blast was one of four Minnesota homers off Seattle starter Erik Swanson. Despite a .232 batting average, Kepler continues to lead off most games for the potent Minnesota offense. He has struggled of late, hitting only .120 (3-for-25) over his last seven games.

Kepler went 1-for-4 with a walk and a solo home run in Friday's 6-0 win over the Tigers.
EDGE Analysis
The 26-year-old remains on pace for a career year, slugging eight homers through 32 games after launching 20 in 156 contests in 2018. Kepler's also making a little more contact while solidifying the improvements in his plate discipline he showed last year, resulting in a .254/.329/.500 slash line that's boosted his OPS nearly 100 points above his career mark.
