Kirk went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run and a bases-loaded walk in Sunday's 8-2 win over the Angels.

The homer was Kirk's second in five games and his fifth long ball of the year. The catcher is up to a .248/.322/.358 slash line with 41 RBI, 18 runs scored, 12 doubles and no stolen bases through 78 contests this season.
