Brandon Lowe hits go-ahead blast in ninth Tuesday

Brandon Lowe had just one hit in five at bats on Tuesday, but his lone hit was a go-ahead solo home run in the ninth to lift the Pirates to a 6-5 win over the Athletics.
Fantasy Impact:
Lowe was 0-for-4 with three strikeouts before taking Elvis Alvarado deep for a solo home run in the ninth inning to complete the Pirates' comeback. It was his 18th home run of the season, tying him for fifth in the National League. However, Lowe has been struggling at the dish, hitting just .164 (10-for-61) over his last 15 games. Four of his ten hits during that span have left the yard, so his power is still helping fantasy owners. Overall, Lowe is slashing .239/.321/.511 with 18 home runs and 47 RBI across 68 games this season.
