Dodgers' Kevin Kiermaier: Lifts fifth homer

Kiermaier went 2-for-4 with a home run and four RBI in Friday's 7-6 win over the Cardinals.

Kiermaier's three-run homer was his first since July 14, and it gave the Dodgers just enough breathing room in the sixth inning. The outfielder hasn't done much at the plate in August, going 6-for-24 (.250) over 11 contests. He's up to a .201/.244/.321 slash line with five homers, 23 RBI, six stolen bases and 27 runs scored across 245 plate appearances between the Dodgers and the Blue Jays this year. Kiermaier continues to see a slight edge for playing time in center field over Andy Pages.
