White Sox's Jose Abreu: Slugs first homer
Abreu went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run Saturday against the Rays.
Abreu took Corey Kluber yard in the fourth inning to record his first homer of the season. It was his only knock of the game, and he entered Saturday having collected zero hits in his last 12 at-bats while striking out six times in that span. Though he's hitting only .200/.273/.367 through 33 plate appearances, Abreu has scored seven runs and collected four RBI.

Ty France 1B | SD
Mariners' Ty France: Doubles home two runs
France went 1-for-4 with a two-run double in a win over the Astros on Friday.
France generated his second two-RBI effort in the last three games with one swing, a sixth-inning double that plated Adam Frazier and Tom Murphy. The 27-year-old has cooled off since posting a three-hit effort in his second game of the season, but his recent timely hitting is helping tide fantasy managers over for the moment.

Vladimir Guerrero Jr. 1B | TOR
Blue Jays' Vladimir Guerrero: Launches fifth homer
Guerrero went 2-for-3 with a walk and a solo home run in Friday's 4-1 win over the A's.
He took Daulton Jefferies deep in the first inning as the Blue Jays never trailed in the game. Guerrero appears intent on making sure he doesn't come in second in the MVP race this time around, and through his first eight games of the season he's slashing .367/.406/.900 with five homers and nine RBI.

Spencer Torkelson 1B | DET
Tigers' Spencer Torkelson: Game-winning home run
Torkelson went 2-for-3 with a two-run homer in a 2-1 win Friday in Kansas City.
Torkelson had two of the three Tiger hits off Brad Keller, including a two-out, two-run blast in the seventh inning. It was the second round-tripper in the last three games for the top prospect. After going hitless in his first four major-league games, the 22-year-old is 5-for-13 with three extra-base hits in his last four contests. So far, however, he's hit seventh or eighth in every game for Detroit.
