Stays hot with 11th homer
Kurtz went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and a walk in Tuesday's 2-1 win over the Cubs.
Análise
Kurtz tied the game in the third inning by taking Jameson Taillon deep for a 383-foot solo shot to left-center. The homer was his 11th of the season and his third in the last four games as the second-year slugger continues an outstanding stretch at the plate. Over his last 20 games, Kurtz is batting .353 with a 1.156 OPS. On the season, he's now slashing .289/.440/.512 with 12 doubles, 42 RBI, 40 runs scored and six stolen bases across 268 plate appearances.

Lifts solo shot
Kurtz went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Friday's 8-2 loss to the Yankees.
Análise
Kurtz had gone 12 contests without a homer and three games without a hit entering Friday. He ended both droughts with a long ball in the first inning off Carlos Rodon, though that was only to cut the Athletics' deficit to 4-1 after a rough first inning saw A's starting pitcher Luis Severino (arm) leave the game. Kurtz hasn't displayed as much power early this year as he did in 2025, but when he has, he's done it in bunches. The first baseman is batting .274 with a .900 OPS, 38 RBI, 36 runs scored, six stolen bases, nine homers, 11 doubles and a triple over 56 games.
