Homers again in defeat
Alvarez went 3-for-6 with a solo home run and a double in Saturday's loss to Seattle.
Analysis
Alvarez cranked a third-inning solo shot for his second homer in as many days. His three hits Saturday are a season high and give him six multi-hit performances on the campaign. Alvarez is slashing .360/.515/.800 with six homers (tied for first in MLB), 14 RBI, 12 runs and a stolen base through 15 games.

Goes yard in loss
Alvarez went 2-for-3 with a three-run home run and a walk in Friday's 9-6 loss to the Mariners.
Analysis
Alvarez went deep in the eighth inning to cut the deficit to three runs. The slugger is in midseason form already with five homers over 14 contests. He's batting .341 with a 1.266 OPS, 13 RBI, 11 runs scored, three doubles and a stolen base through 62 plate appearances. Alvarez has often displayed excellent plate discipline, but he's been better than usual in that area so far with a 14:7 BB:K as well. Last year was a lost season due to injuries, but Alvarez has 30-homer and 100-RBI potential if he can stay relatively healthy.
