Tigers' Justin Upton: Homers twice against Mariners

Upton hit a pair of home runs -- including a walk-off solo blast in the 12th inning -- in a 2-for-5 game with three RBI in Monday's win over the Mariners.

Analysis:

Has Upton figured it out? He now has four home runs in his past four games, part of a 10-game hitting streak. Over that span, Upton has raised his OPS from .613 to .684. His season to date has still been underwhelming, but he's finding the kind of hot streak that can make owners believe the Upton from the last three years -- .262/.344/.470 with an average of 27 homers per season -- will be the one who shows up for the rest of 2016.
