Gelof went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in a win over the Reds on Tuesday.
Gelof left the yard in the eighth inning via a 424-foot shot to left center that extended the Athletics' lead to 5-1, a run that turned out to be critical after the Reds rallied for three runs over the final two frames. Gelof's round tripper snapped a 12-game power drought for the infielder, whose average (.199) has dipped back under the Mendoza Line despite Tuesday's success. The lack of consistent contact continues to be a major drag on Gelof's overall numbers in his first full major-league season, as he's striking out at a 34.7 percent clip.
