Tallies third homer
Karros went 1-for-2 with a solo home run Saturday against the Giants.
Analysis
Karros was not in the starting lineup, but he pinch-hit for Sterlin Thompson in the seventh inning and went yard for his third home run of the season, and second in his last four games. Karros has struggled to a .208 batting average across 185 plate appearances, and his playing time has started to slip over the last three weeks.

Resting Wednesday
Karros isn't in the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Dodgers.
Analysis
Karros' three-run homer Tuesday extended his hitting streak to three games, but he'll grab a seat on the bench to begin Wednesday's series finale. Willi Castro will start at third base as a result, opening up second for Edouard Julien.

Adds late homer
Karros went 1-for-4 with a three-run home run in Tuesday's 15-6 loss to the Dodgers.
Analysis
Karros' homer came off position player Miguel Rojas in the ninth inning. They all count the same in the box score, and for Karros, this long ball ended a stretch of 29 contests without a homer and eight games without an extra-base hit. The third baseman is batting .208 with a .603 OPS, two homers, 14 RBI, 19 runs scored, seven doubles and two stolen bases over 52 games. That production is mostly similar to what he showed in his first 43 big-league contests last year.
