Jed Lowrie - Picking up pace at plateLowrie, who went 2-for-4 in the second game of Saturday's doubleheader against the Angels, is now hitting .364 (4-for-11) with two RBI, two walks and two runs over his last four ga...
ImpactThe modest surge has quickly boosted the veteran's average from .188 to .220. Lowrie's .220/.294/.271 slash line entering Sunday's action is still well below his career standards, but his recent body of work implies he could be on his way to shedding an early funk.

Ramón Laureano - Thrives to open Saturday twin billLaureano went 2-for-3 with two doubles, a walk and two runs during the first game of a doubleheader against the Angels on Saturday.
ImpactThe multi-hit effort was the second in five games for Laureano, who's still in the process of getting his timing back at the plate after opening the season in the midst of completing an 80-game suspension. The talented outfielder still carries an ugly .167/.286/.267 slash line, but he sports a .263 average and .812 OPS over his last six games.

Lou Trivino - Gets first win SaturdayTrivino (1-2) secured the win during a victory over the Angels in the first game of a doubleheader Saturday, getting the final out of the ninth inning on a strikeout.
ImpactThe right-hander actually entered in what was at the time a low-leverage spot, as the Athletics trailed 3-1 with only three outs left to mount a comeback. However, Trivino was rewarded for getting Mike Trout to strike out on four pitches when Oakland came up with three runs in the home half of the frame to emerge with a walk-off win. Trivino has done a good job righting his ship after a rough start to May during which he gave up five runs (four earned) to the Rays over two-thirds of an inning, as he's allowed just one earned run over the three frames covering his subsequent five appearances.
