Malloy went 2-for-2 with two walks and a two-run home run in Friday's 9-2 loss to the Royals.

Malloy provided all of his team's offense with his eighth home run of the season in the first inning. The rookie has shown good power potential through 45 games, but he's also unsurprisingly striking out 33.5 percent of the time. Malloy will have to make a bit more consistent contact if he wants to take the next step as a player. Thankfully for the 24-year-old, the rebuilding Tigers should give him plenty of opportunities to work through things at the plate.
