Swats 17th long ball Lowe went 1-for-4 with a solo home run against the Angels on Monday in a 5-1 win.

Impact After Adolis Garcia and Mitch Garver hit consecutive solo homers in the sixth inning, Lowe made it three straight with his own blast to right field.

Lowe has shown less power with 17 homers this season after slugging a career-high 27 last year, but he's improved his RBI count from 76 to 81 thanks largely to hitting in a much more potent Rangers offense.

Impact Lowe returned to the third spot in the order after spending the last two games batting fifth. Texas manager Bruce Bochy said having Josh Jung, who normally bats fifth, serve in the three hole was an experiment against lefties following Monday's game, but the manager swapped the two again Tuesday against a right-hander. If the manager settles on Lowe being farther down the order, it's not because the first baseman is struggling. Lowe has hit safely in seven of the last eight games, going 10-for-29 with a 1.017 OPS.

Drops to fifth Lowe batted fifth and went 1-for-3 with two walks in Monday's 5-2 win over the White Sox.

Impact Texas manager Bruce Bochy tweaked the order Monday, swapping Lowe and Josh Jung in the order. The manager told Kennedi Landry of MLB.com that he wanted to break up two consecutive lefties -- Corey Seager in the two hole with Lowe behind him -- when facing a lefty starter. The move worked out well Monday against Chicago's Tanner Banks. Bochy said he'll consider using the same lineup against southpaws going forward, while the lineup against righties will remain intact. That sounds like it was just an experiment Monday and not yet a permanent shift.
