Adrian Beltre

It wasn’t but two weeks ago that Adrian Beltre was mired in a slump at the plate. Fast forward to this week where he is currently hitting over .500, and you’ll find that his production has changed drastically.

Beltre delivered the second three-homer game of his career on Wednesday in his first three at-bats, and followed that performance by hitting for the cycle for the second time of his career on Friday.

Not only has he come though at the plate this year, but his gold glove defense is just as good as ever.
