Jeffers went 2-for-4 with a home run and an additional RBI in Wednesday's win over the Mariners.
EDGE Analysis
Jeffers launched his fourth homer of the season in the fifth inning off Justus Sheffield, and the backstop has now extended his hitting streak to three games as a result. He's also gone deep twice in that span and is hitting a decent .282 across 39 at-bats this month while assuming most of the playing time behind the plate while Mitch Garver (groin) is on the injured list.

Jeffers went 2-for-4 with a home run, two RBI, two runs scored and a triple Wednesday against the Orioles.
EDGE Analysis
Jeffers took over behind the plate in the absence of Mitch Garver (groin), who is expected to miss a significant amount of time. He provided a solo homer in the second inning, his first of the season. Jeffers then delivered another RBI and came around to score after collecting a triple in the eighth frame. Prior to being recalled Wednesday, Jeffers was hitting .217/.340/.446 across 103 plate appearances with Triple-A St. Paul.
