Snaps homer drought
Baldwin went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Tuesday's 4-1 loss to the Twins.
Analysis
Baldwin accounted for Atlanta's only run of the contest, taking Zebby Matthews deep for a solo homer in the sixth inning. The blast snapped a 22-game homer drought and gave the sophomore catcher 21 long balls on the season. Baldwin has still been productive recently, reaching safely in eight consecutive games while batting .375 with a .974 OPS during that stretch. Through 103 contests this season, he's slashing .278/.361/.459 with 21 homers, 10 doubles, 63 RBI, 68 runs scored and three stolen bases.

Three more hits Wednesday
Baldwin went 3-for-4 with an RBI in Wednesday's win over the Mets.
Analysis
All three hits were singles, but it was still another solid night for Baldwin, who's produced multiple knocks in four of his last eight games. The 25-year-old backstop hasn't homered since July 24, however, and over that 18-game drought he's batting .278 (20-for-72) with just two doubles and five RBI.
