EDGE Analysis

Brown will be on the bench Saturday against San Francisco.

Brown went 2-for-2 with a two-run home run, three walks and a stolen base in a win over the Angels on Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

Brown was as much of a one-man wrecking crew as his final line implies, ensuring a nightmarish experience for the Angels pitching staff with his perfect performance at the plate.

Brown is now 6-for-12 with three extra-base hits over the past three games.
