Noda entered Tuesday's extra-innings win over the Diamondbacks as a pinch hitter in the fifth inning and remained in the game at first base, going 1-for-3 with a grand slam and a walk.
EDGE Analysis
Noda's 424-foot shot to center in the seventh with the bases jammed erased an 8-4 deficit and set the Athletics up to eventually prevail in extras. The 27-year-old rookie hadn't left the yard since April 28, and the big blast snapped him out of the 1-for-21 funk he'd been mired in over the previous eight games in momentous fashion.

Noda went 1-for-2 with a double and two walks in a loss to the Yankees on Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
Noda's busy offensive day was an extension of a season-long trend, as he now carries an elite .429 on-base percentage across 119 plate appearances. The 27-year-old's two-bagger was also his 12th extra-base hit among 22 total knocks, which has helped him to an .885 OPS despite a middling .244 average.

Noda entered Monday's extra-inning win over the Angels as a pinch hitter in the ninth inning and remained in the game at first base, going 1-for-1 with a two-run double, a walk and two runs.
EDGE Analysis
Noda drew the base on balls in his pinch-hit plate appearance and eventually came around to score the tying run on Brent Rooker's base-loaded walk later in the frame. Noda then delivered two key runs himself with his 10th-inning double, which snapped an 8-8 tie and gave the Athletics a lead they wouldn't relinquish. The 27-year-old has now reached safely in 11 of the last 12 games, and although he's still carrying just a .216 average, he boasts an elite .394 on-base percentage thanks in large part to a 22.7 percent walk rate.
