Brewers' Orlando Arcia: Homers in loss to Cardinals

Arcia went 1-for-4 with his second home run, a solo shot, in Monday's loss to St. Louis.

Analysis:

After a brutally slow start, Arcia is starting to figure things out. Monday's blast marks his second home run in his past four games, and he's hitting a cool 8-for-22 (.364) with four extra-base hits since busting his slump with a pinch-hit double Aug. 23 against the Rockies. He did strike out twice Monday night, and his 20.8 percent strikeout rate thus far is concerning, but at least Arcia is starting to show some life at the plate.
