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.

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.

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.
