Alvarez contributed a pinch-hit, two RBI double in his only at-bat in Saturday's 8-4 loss to the A's in the first game of a doubleheader.
The struggling slugger was able to come through in his pinch-hit opportunity, after going 0-for-7 over his previous three games. Alvarez had closed out April with somewhat of a flourish, collecting three multi-hit games in the last four contests of the month. However, he's been unable to string an extended stretch of successful hitting together, and has produced a .211/.313/.351 line over his first 57 at-bats in Baltimore. His strong suit, the long ball, has also been missing in action, as the 29-year-old has only had one ball leave the yard.
