Pirates' Jung Ho Kang: Likes the long ball in Los Angeles

Kang turned around a 94-mph fastball Sunday, crushing his second homer in as many days against the Dodgers.

Analysis:

He's drawn five of his 19 walks in his last five starts, a good sign for the second-year player. Kang has totaled 13 home runs in nearly half the at-bats compared to 2015, posting a .798 OPS. It's only two games, but the third baseman is showing signs of a turnaround.
