Hits 14th home run Suwinski went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run and an additional run scored in a 5-2 victory over the Yankees on Tuesday.

Despite being on pace for a 30- home run season, Suwinski's 31.3 percent strikeout rate is concerning and it is worth monitoring how pitchers adapt to him over the second half of the season.
