LAMONTE WADE NEWS

Homers and doubles in win Wade went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run, a double and an additional run scored in a 7-3 win over the Athletics.

Impact Wade took advantage of one of MLB's weakest starting pitchers in Adam Oller to rack up a couple of extra-base hits, including his fourth home run of the season. He now has 16 RBI. Wade had a miserable July, slashing .154/.279/.346 and spending an increasing amount of time on the bench, so he will need to build on his performance by handling the bat well against higher-quality pitchers if he hopes to force his way back into the starting lineup more regularly.

Sits in fifth straight contest Wade is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game at Arizona, John Shea of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Impact It's the fifth straight game on the bench for Wade, who has a .173/.292/.333 slash line through 27 games this year. Most of those absences, including Tuesday, have been against a left-handed pitchers, but it's not as though his replacement Luis Gonzalez enjoys a platoon advantage since he also hits lefty. Wade delivered an .808 OPS with 18 homers in 109 games last year, but he's been unable to reproduce those results when healthy this year and is now losing out on playing time.

Mookie Betts broke an eighth-inning tie with a three-run homer and the Los Angeles Dodgers beat the San Francisco Giants 9-6 after blowing a five-run lead in the seventh

Crushes third homer Wade went 1-for-3 with a three-run home run and a walk in Sunday's 9-5 win over the Brewers.

Impact Wade blew the game open with his third-inning blast, which stretched the Giants' lead to 7-1. Injuries have limited his chances to build momentum, but he's yet to have a multi-hit effort since returning from a knee injury June 29. Four of his seven hits since that date have gone for extra bases. The 28-year-old owns a .181/.294/.347 slash line with three homers, 14 RBI, seven runs scored, a triple and a double through 85 plate appearances. Wade is likely to be limited to playing against right-handed pitchers until he can show more consistency at the plate.
