Vargas went 1-for-5 with a three-run home run Wednesday against the Phillies.

EDGE Analysis

Vargas played his part in a seven-run seventh inning for the White Sox, blasting his 13th home run of the season. He hasn't had a strong July, but he has performed well since the All-Star break by collecting at least one hit in eight of his 12 starts. In that span, Vargas has popped three homers, driven in nine and scored 12 runs.

Before these back-to-back games with home runs, Vargas was mired in a 26-game homerless drought during which he batted .158 (15-for-95), so perhaps he is turning a corner. Across 400 total plate appearances, the 25-year-old has a .711 OPS with 12 homers, four steals, 51 runs scored and 40 RBI.

He now has at least one hit in 12 of his last 14 games while also picking up eight RBI and 11 runs scored.
