Racking up XBH in August Suarez, who went 2-for-3 with an RBI single, a triple and a run in an extra-inning loss to the Athletics on Saturday, is hitting just .213 in August but has laced nine of his 13 hi... Impact The veteran slugger's three-bagger Saturday was his second of the season, tying a career high he'd reached in five previous seasons as well. Suarez's lackluster average during the current month, which is partly the result of a .194 BABIP, is offset by multiple favorable metrics -- he's sporting a .347 on-base percentage largely due to a 13.3 percent walk rate, he's belted six home runs as part of his aforementioned extra-base-hit haul and he's collected 17 RBI in 18 games courtesy of a .333 average with men on base, including a .500 figure with runners in scoring position.
