Homers again Friday

Kurtz went 1-for-3 with a three-run home run and a walk in Friday's 4-3 loss to the Phillies.
ANALYSIS
Kurtz made things interesting in this contest, as he got the Athletics to within a run after taking Jordan Romano deep in the ninth inning. This was Kurtz's fourth homer over the last four games, a span in which he has gone 5-for-14 with eight RBI and three walks. The first baseman is up to .231/.291/.440 slash line, five homers, 14 RBI, 10 runs scored and no stolen bases over 103 plate appearances. He looks to be past a slump from the middle of the month, and the power that has helped him take the fast track to the majors hasn't taken long to show up at baseball's highest level.
