Swats pair of homers
Rodriguez went 2-for-4 with a pair of two-run home runs in Friday's 7-6 loss to the Royals.
Analysis
Rodriguez doubled his homer total for the year with this performance, though it wasn't enough to get the Mariners a win. The outfielder has warmed up with six multi-hit efforts over his last 10 contests, a span that includes three of his four homers for the year. Rodriguez is batting .262 with a .733 OPS, 16 RBI, 16 runs scored, six doubles and three stolen bases over 33 games. He's usually been a slow starter during his career, so this power surge could be a sign he's about to fully break out.

Racks up three doubles Tuesday
Rodriguez went 3-for-5 with three doubles, two RBI and two runs scored in Tuesday's 7-1 win over the Twins.
Analysis
After starting the night 0-for-2, Rodriguez caught fire, ripping three straight doubles, including a two-run knock in the ninth inning. The outburst continues a strong stretch at the plate, as he has now recorded a hit in 10 of his last 12 games, with five multi-hit efforts in that span. While the power numbers are still building, Rodriguez is finding his rhythm and is now slashing .256/.333/.355 with two homers, six doubles and 12 RBI across 121 plate appearances.
