Belts homer in win
Aranda went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Friday's 2-1 win over the Mariners.
Analysis
Aranda's third-inning blast ended up being the difference in this contest. It was his first homer of the second half, as the infielder struggled a bit by hitting .230 with a .257 slugging percentage over his previous 18 games. He's turned a corner in August, hitting safely in all five of his games this month. For the season, Aranda is batting .287 with an .815 OPS, 15 homers, 72 RBI, 56 runs scored and 19 doubles across 112 contests.

Logs four hits in win
Aranda went 4-for-5 with a double, two RBI and two runs scored in Monday's 13-9 win over Colorado.
Analysis
Aranda was a hit machine, logging four hits for the first time since May 3. It was a much-needed performance for the first baseman, who entered Monday's contest batting just .183 in 15 games since the All-Star break. Otherwise, the 28-year-old has put together a strong campaign, slashing .286/.376/.437 with 14 homers, 67 RBI and 53 runs across 109 contests.
