Ward went 2-for-5 with a solo home run, a second RBI and three total runs scored in Tuesday's 7-6 extra-inning win over the Dodgers.
EDGE Analysis
Over his last 13 games, Ward has five multi-hit efforts and eight hitless performances. He's added three homers and 11 RBI in that span despite the inconsistency at the plate. The outfielder is up to a .234/.314/.489 slash line with 28 homers, 89 RBI, 66 runs scored and three stolen bases across 118 contests. Ward's been keeping his OPS around the .800 mark since the All-Star break, so he should remain a steady source of power in the heart of the Angels' lineup.

Ward went 3-for-4 with a double, a home run, two runs scored and three RBI in Saturday's 7-4 win over the Tigers.
EDGE Analysis
He couldn't come up with a triple to complete the cycle -- not surprising considering he has only eight of them in his career -- but Ward's two-run homer off Charlie Morton in the fifth inning put the Angels in the lead for good. Ward has been running hot or cold of late, recording four multi-hit performances and five hitless efforts in his last nine games, but his overall production has been on the upswing. In 21 games since the All-Star break, Ward is slashing .282/.371/.577 with five doubles, six homers, nine runs and 22 RBI.
