JOSE SIRI NEWS

Displaying power Siri went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run Friday against the Dodgers.

Impact Siri took Justin Bruihl deep in the eighth inning for his ninth home run of the season. He's homered five times in his last eight games and has been excellent all around by hitting .357 with eight RBI and seven runs scored in that span. Perhaps most importantly, Siri has dropped his strikeout rate to 27.5 percent across 102 plate appearances this season, allowing him to reach more of both his power and speed potential.

Siri struggles to make consistent contact and to reach base -- he has a 30.8 percent strikeout rate and .286 on-base percentage -- but he has also chipped in four stolen bases in only 91 plate appearances for the campaign.
