Knocks in two
Kepler went 3-for-5 with a double and two RBI in Monday's 3-2 extra-inning loss to the Pirates.
Analisi
Kepler broke a scoreless tie in the sixth inning with a two-run double. He had a chance for more RBI in 10th but lined out with the bases loaded. After a period of adjusment to MLB pitching upon his return from an 80-game suspension -- he posted a .190 average and struck out at a 26.1 percent clip over his first 14 games -- Kepler's found his swing. The outfielder is 8-for-26 (.308) with three doubles, one home run, six RBI and just two strikeouts (6.9 K%) over the subsequent eight contests.

Drives in two runs Monday
Kepler went 3-for-5 with a two-run double during Arizona's 3-2 extra-inning loss to Pittsburgh on Monday.
Analisi
Merrill Kelly and Mitch Keller were locked in a pitcher's duel, but Kepler was responsible for the first runs of the game with a bases-loaded double in the sixth inning that plated two runs for the Diamondbacks. Kepler is slashing .235/.280/.397 with two home runs and 14 RBI across 75 plate appearances this season.

Taking seat against southpaw
Kepler is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Athletics.
Analisi
The left-handed-hitting Kepler will head to the bench for the second time in the series while the Athletics send another southpaw (Gage Jump) to the bump for the finale. Ryan Waldschmidt will replace Kepler in left field and will bat ninth.

Lifts homer in win
Kepler went 2-for-3 with a three-run home run and two walks in Tuesday's 6-5 extra-inning win over the Athletics.
Analisi
This was Kepler's second multi-hit effort in a row and his fourth this season since he debuted June 26 following an 80-game suspension. The outfielder is batting .240 with a .706 OPS, two homers, 12 RBI, five runs scored and three doubles over 16 contests. Kepler has seen the bulk of the work in left field since Lourdes Gurriel (thigh) went on the injured list, though Ryan Waldschmidt is also in the mix when he's not in center field.
