Kurtz went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run and a walk in Friday's loss to the Marlins.
Kurtz launched his 20th homer of the season with a two-run shot to center in the bottom of the third inning. The star first baseman snapped a nine-game homer drought with this long ball, but he still sits tied for sixth on the AL home-run leaderboard while tying Shea Langeliers (thumb) for the team lead. Kurtz is batting .269 with an excellent .966 OPS across 29 games since the beginning of June.
