Burger went 2-for-5 with a three-run home run and a double in a loss to the Twins on Wednesday. Miami got off to a fiery start Wednesday, as Burger's three-run homer was one of five straight baserunners for the team to open the contest. However, the Marlins didn't score over the remaining eight frames, and Burger struck out in three of his remaining four at-bats (though he also recorded a double). The slugger has gone deep four times in his past eight games and needs one more long ball to reach 30 for the second straight season.

Burger went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Sunday's loss to Atlanta. All four of Miami's runs on the afternoon came on solo shots, with Burger launching his in the fourth inning off Grant Holmes. The 28-year-old slugger has gone yard three times in the last six contests, part of a 12-game stretch in which he's slashing .304/.327/.522 with nine RBI. Burger sits two long balls short of recording his second straight 30-homer campaign with six games left on the Marlins' schedule.

Burger is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Giants. After seeing his six-game hitting streak come to an end with an 0-for-4, two-strikeout showing in Saturday's 4-3 win, Burger will get a breather for the series finale. He'll give way at first base to David Hensley in what amounts to Burger's first day off since July 25.

Burger went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run, a walk and a stolen base in a loss to the Diamondbacks on Wednesday. Burger helped the Marlins take an early lead with his two-run blast off Arizona starter Jordan Montgomery in the first inning. The long ball was his 10th through 19 contests in what has been a big August for the slugger. Burger is up to 25 home runs on the campaign as he closes in on the 30-homer mark for the second straight season.

Burger went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Friday's 6-2 extra-inning loss to the Padres. The 28-year-old slugger opened the scoring in the fourth inning by taking Martin Perez deep, continuing a power surge that has seen Burger launch seven homers in the last 11 games while slashing .311/.347/.800 with 11 RBI. The improved performance at the plate could be due to his reduced defensive responsibilities -- he's played third base only three times during that stretch while lining up at first base and DH four times each. Burger is batting .242 on the season with 20 home runs and 50 RBI in 94 contests.
