Ramirez went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Friday's 6-4 loss to Kansas City.
The third baseman has been slumping a bit of late, going 1-for-his-last-16 at the plate. His slash line still sits at .265/.333/.464 on the season, and he continues to take a patient approach at the plate. He also shows the occasional pop, as evidenced by his seventh homer of the year. It could be just what he needed to get things going back in the right direction.
