Mountcastle went 3-for-5 with two doubles, a two-run home run and a second run scored in Tuesday's 6-5 win over the Blue Jays.
EDGE Analysis
His third-inning blast off Yusei Kikuchi got the Orioles on the board. Mountcastle has been annihilating the ball in June with 10 of his 12 hits (six doubles and four homers) on the month going for extra bases, and the power surge has pushed his slash line on the season to .262/.301/.460 with 10 homers and 30 RBI through 51 contests.

Mountcastle went 2-for-5 with a solo home run, a double and two total runs scored in Sunday's 10-7 win over the Royals.
EDGE Analysis
Mountcastle hadn't recorded multiple hits in a game since his four-hit effort versus the Red Sox on May 30. He was 6-for-35 (.171) in his previous 10 contests, though five of the hits in that span went for extra bases. The 25-year-old now has a .254/.295/.435 slash line with nine homers, 28 RBI, 23 runs scored, eight doubles and two stolen bases through 207 plate appearances. He remains a fixture in the Orioles' lineup, but he hit sixth for just the third time in his last 21 contests -- more often, he slots in somewhere from the No. 3 to 5 spots in the order.

Mountcastle went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run and a walk in Sunday's 3-2 loss to the Guardians.
EDGE Analysis
Mountcastle's two-run blast in the fourth inning was all the run production the Orioles could muster Sunday. The 25-year-old had gone 0-for-6 across the first two games of the weekend series versus the Guardians before providing a little pop in the finale. He's posted a .256/.303/.424 slash line, eight homers, 24 RBI, 20 runs scored and two stolen bases through 185 plate appearances as a regular presence in the heart of the lineup. His plate discipline is trending upward -- Mountcastle has walked five times and struck out just once through five games in June.

Mountcastle (body cramps) will start at first base and bat cleanup in Monday's game against the Yankees, Nathan Ruiz of The Baltimore Sun reports.
EDGE Analysis
Even though he exited Sunday's 7-6 win over the Rays early just one day after returning from a stint on the injured list due to a left forearm strain, Mountcastle never looked to be in much danger of being unavailable for the series with the Yankees after his early departure Sunday was attributed to heat-related body cramps. With some extra time to rest up and rehydrate, Mountcastle should be ready to play a full nine-inning game Monday.

EDGE Analysis
Mountcastle didn't show any clear signs of injury before leaving the matchup with a trainer after leading off the bottom of the ninth inning with a single. It seems unlikely that his cramps will prompt a trip to the injured list, and he should tentatively be considered day-to-day.
