Reds shortstop Eugenio Suarez provided all the offense the team needed during Thursday's 10-3 win over the Dodgers.

Suarez went 3 for 5 at the plate with a team-high four RBI. His biggest hit came in the sixth inning when he smacked a three-run home run off Pedro Baez.

Prior to Thursday's win, Suarez was hitting .279 with one home run and seven RBI in his last 12 games.

Pirates first baseman Pedro Alvarez was an offensive juggernaut in Thursday's 10-5 win over the Cardinals. Alvarez went 3 for 4 with a pair of RBI. He hit a two-run home run--his 17th of the year--as part of a seven-run first inning. 

The slugging first baseman is batting .310 with two home runs and four RBI in 10 games this month.

Rays third baseman Evan Longoria went 1 for 4 in Sunday's win over the Mets. 

Longoria's single extended his hitting streak to nine straight games. He's hitting .432 over the streak. 

Orioles third baseman Manny Machado went 4 for 5 at the plate to help lead the O's to a 5-0 win over the Angels.

Machado hit his 24th home run of the season off Garrett Richards in the fifth inning. The solo shot was his only RBI in the game.

Prior to Saturday's four-hit game, Machado was hitting .277 with three home runs and six RBI in his last 16 games.

Blue Jays third baseman Josh Donaldson homered for the third straight game on Wednesday, as the Jays outslugged the Twins 9-7. Donaldson blasted a two-run shot in the first inning, giving him consecutive games with a first-inning big fly.

Donaldson, who also walked and scored later in the game, has four homers over his past five games, as he continues to be an offensive force atop the Blue Jays' lineup in 2015.

Indians third baseman Giovanny Urshela helped end a marathon against the Angels with a two-run game-winning home run in the 12th inning. 

Urshela's fourth career homer was his first game winner and his first hit later than the seventh inning. 

Urshela went 3 for 5 in the game with a double, snapping a four-game, 15-at bat hitless streak. 

Giants third baseman Matt Duffy continues to be a pleasant surprise, as he contributed four hits, an RBI and a run scored in the 8-3 win over the Braves on Tuesday. His biggest hit was an RBI double in the eighth inning to tie the game up 3-3. 

Duffy keeps on rolling at the plate, as he is now batting .381 with three doubles, a homer and seven RBI over his past 10 games.

Third baseman Josh Donaldson got the Blue Jays on the board early, smacking a solo home run in the first inning of Tuesday's 3-1 win over the Twins. Donaldson belted his 28th homer of the season with one out in the first.

It was his only hit of the game, but he has now homered in back-to-back games. He also has recorded five home runs and 12 RBI over his past nine games for the Jays.

The Athletics optioned first baseman Max Muncy to Triple-A Nashville on Tuesday. Muncy appeared in just one game following his latest recall, going 1 for 3 with a double.

Braves second baseman Jace Peterson filled up the boxscore in Monday's 8-7 win over the Giants. Peterson went 3 for 5 with a home run, a double, RBI and two runs scored. Peterson's big blow was a three-run home run in the sixth, to cut the Giants' lead to 6-3. 

It was Peterson's fifth home run of the year. He has now homered in back-to-back games after going 27 games without one.
