Pedro Alvarez hit his 20th home run, a solo shot in the 7th inning against San Francisco. Alvarez was 1 for 3 in last night's win over the Giants. He also drove in a run with a sacrifice in the first inning. The negative news is he committed his 18th error of the year.
Fantasy Impact
As Alvarez continues with the hot August bat, you should have him your lineup. While he can be inconsistent, now isn't the time. He's batting .321 with 5 home runs and 13 RBIs in August. He now has 20 home runs and 64 RBIs for the year.
