Lowe went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Friday's 9-1 loss to Baltimore.
EDGE Analysis
Lowe's second-inning blast was all the Rangers could muster. It was his seventh home run of the season and first extra-base hit in 12 contests. Lowe stumbled to finish the first half, going 1-for-17 over the five games leading into the All-Star break, so the home run is a positive sign.

Lowe went 1-for-4 with an RBI in Saturday's 4-3 win over the Rays.
EDGE Analysis
Lowe singled in a run in the third inning to give the Rangers a 2-0 lead. The first baseman has started to make an impact after a so-so start. Lowe, who has 35 RBI in 68 games overall, has driven in 14 runs over his last 10 contests. He has four home runs and a slash line of .350/.366/.675 during that stretch. The surge in production could be why manager Bruce Bochy moved him up to third in the order to replace the injured Josh Smith (hamstring).
