Alvarez went 1-for-4 with a solo home run Friday against the Rangers.

Alvarez took Martin Perez deep in the third inning to tally his fourth homer of the season. Alvarez has also uncharacteristically punched out three times in consecutive games, bringing his strikeout rate to an inflated 25.9 percent clip. Even so, it's difficult to argue with his production early this season, as he's hitting .295 with 17 RBI and nine runs scored across 54 plate appearances.
