Homers again Thursday
O'Neill went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Thursday's 3-2 win over the Cubs.
Analysis
O'Neill opened the scoring by leading off the second inning with a solo homer off David Peterson. After managing just two long balls through his first 52 games this season, the veteran outfielder has caught fire with four home runs over his last five contests. Despite the recent surge, he closes in on the All-Star break with what would be career lows across the board, slashing .196/.296/.358.

Swats two homers in loss
O'Neill went 2-for-2 with two solo home runs in Wednesday's 9-7 loss to the Cubs.
Analysis
The two teams combined for nine long balls on the night, and O'Neill made his contributions even though he began the game on the bench -- after launching a pinch-hit homer off Drew Pomeranz in the seventh inning, he went yard again in the eighth off Caleb Thielbar as Baltimore tried to put together a late rally from a 9-3 deficit. O'Neill has five homers on the season in 55 contests, but three of them have come in his last 10 plate appearances. Over his last 16 games, the veteran outfielder has compiled a .273/.360/.591 slash line and pushed for consistent playing time, but his 34.0 percent strikeout rate during that stretch remains a red flag.
