Cowser went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and an additional run scored in Friday's 7-5 win over the Astros.
Cowser ended a 12-game homer drought with his third-inning blast. In that span, he hit just .224 (11-for-49). The outfielder is now slashing .249/.326/.454 with 19 homers, 57 RBI, 61 runs scored and eight stolen bases through 122 contests. He remains the preferred leadoff hitter versus right-handed pitchers, though any prolonged slump at the plate for Cowser could cause manager Brandon Hyde to try someone else atop the order.
