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.
