Mountcastle hit his 18th homer in the first inning off Kyle Freeland to kick off the scoring for the Orioles. Following a series with Toronto that saw him collect just one hit, Mountcastle picked up where he had previous left off in August with his seventh multi-hit effort of the month. He's now hitting .366 with 30 hits in 82 August at-bats including five home runs, 16 RBI and 16 runs scored.

The first baseman is up to 17 homers, 60 RBI, 55 runs scored, three stolen bases and a .275/.321/.481 slash line through 93 contests overall.

It was his second homer during the three-game series against Houston. Mountcastle is batting .463 (19-for-41) during his active 12-game hitting streak. That surge has lifted his slash line to .268/.312/.479 with 15 homers, 53 RBI, 49 runs scored and three stolen bases over 84 games this season. As long as he keeps hitting well, managers Brandon Hyde will continue to keep Mountcastle in a prominent place in the Orioles' order -- he's hit second versus southpaws and fifth against righties in August.

EDGE Analysis

The 26-year-old has reeled off three straight multi-hit performances against Toronto, and while he didn't deliver any extra-base hits this time, he did supplement his singles with his third steal of the season. Mountcastle is slashing .400/.462/.689 in 16 games since the All-Star break with seven doubles, two homers, eight RBI and 10 runs, and he's pushing his way back into a consistent starting spot even on an O's roster stuffed full of top prospects.

EDGE Analysis

Getting the start at first base and batting second against southpaw Hyun Jin Ryu, Mountcastle produced two two-baggers for the second straight game at the Rogers Centre. The 26-year-old had been scuffling prior to a bout of vertigo in June that caused him to miss about a month of action, but since the All-Star break he's slashing .372/.417/.674 in 15 games with seven doubles, two homers, eight RBI and 10 runs. The O's have two more games left in Toronto during this series, and Mountcastle's career 1.021 OPS in 199 plate appearances against the Blue Jays will make him a very enticing DFS option.

EDGE Analysis

Mountcastle will head to the bench for the series finale after he started each of the last five games while going 5-for-15 with a pair of solo home runs, three walks and two additional runs.

EDGE Analysis

Mountcastle has gone 11-for-36 (.306) with two homers and three doubles since the All-Star break. While he has just three RBI in that 13-game span, it's an improvement on how he was hitting prior to a month-long injured-list stint with vertigo. The first baseman is at a .240/.279/.441 slash line with 13 homers, 43 RBI, 41 runs scored and two stolen bases through 74 games this season. He's splitting time at first base with Ryan O'Hearn, though Mountcastle is usually in the lineup as the designated hitter when O'Hearn's in the field.
