Lukes tied the game at two with a clutch two-run homer in the bottom of the eighth inning on Sunday. Unfortunately, the Rangers scored a go-ahead run on a two-base wild pitch in the ninth to escape with a 3-2 win. The long ball was Lukes' fourth of the season and his second over his last five games. He has also logged back-to-back two-hit efforts and is up to a .310/.357/.439 slash line with four homers, 18 runs, and 17 RBI through 170 plate appearances on the season.

Blue Jays outfielder Nathan Lukes went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in a 3-1 loss to the Astros on Wednesday.

Lukes slugged a solo homer in the bottom of the first in retaliation against an Astros first-inning run of their own. Unfortunately, the Blue Jays would go scoreless for the next eight innings while the Astros scored a couple of runs late to win this one by a 3-1 score. The long ball was Lukes' third of the season, and while he's not known specifically for his power, he's still slashing .301/.344/.420 for the season, a line that puts his wRC+ at 114, 14 percent above the league average.

The three-hit effort was Lukes' fourth of the season, while it was his first multi-hit effort over his last eight starts. It's been a productive season for the lefty-swinging outfielder, who is slashing .311/.362/.395 with one homer, 14 runs, and 13 RBI across 131 trips to the plate.

Fantasy Impact

Lukes returned on Monday after missing a month with a hamstring injury, and promptly delivered a trio of singles in his team's blowout loss on Monday. The lefty-swinging outfielder raised his average to a healthy .286 on the season, but he has yet to homer in his 21 games to this point. The 31-year-old hit second in the lineup on Monday, a spot we can expect to see him in against right-handed pitching moving forward.
