Ford went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in a loss to the Angels on Sunday.
Ford left the yard for the second time in the series and this season with a 412-foot shot to right in the fifth inning. The 30-year-old has made six appearances at designated hitter since his June 2 season debut, but his Achilles heel since 2021 -- making consistent contact -- continues to plague him, as evidenced by his 31.6 percent strikeout rate over his first 19 plate appearances.
