Valencia went 2-for-5 with a solo homer, walk and two runs scored in Saturday's 6-5 extra-inning loss to the Astros.
The veteran third baseman's banner season continues, as his average now sits at .343 following Saturday's effort. That represents a 70-point improvement over his career figure, while his nine homers have him on pace to surpass the career-high 18 he hit in 2015 during stints with both the Blue Jays and the A's. The 31-year-old now has three of those round-trippers in the last seven games, while hitting safely in five of the last six contests.
