Blue Jays' Melvin Upton Jr.: Homers for third time in four games Sunday

Upton went 1-for-4 with a solo shot in Sunday's game against the Indians.

Analysis:

Upton's third-inning homer off Indians starter Corey Kluber was his 19th of the season and third since moving north of the border July 26. The 32-year-old outfield started slow with the Jays, but Upton has been picking it up in recent days. All three of his home runs with the team have come over the last four games, a span in which he racked up six RBI and scored four runs. Upton continues to see regular playing time with Kevin Pillar and Jose Bautista on the mend.
