2 Andrelton Simmons SS

Simmons went 3-for-4 with two RBI and two runs scored in Tuesday's win over the Athletics.

Simmons mashed a double in the fourth inning and then later kicked off the scoring in a six-run sixth with his two-RBI single. The 29-year-old has been on a roll since the end of August, hitting .342 (25-for-73) with 13 RBI over his last 18 games.

Simmons went 2-for-5 with a solo home run in a win over the White Sox on Friday.

Simmons took reliever Aaron Bummer deep in the seventh inning for his 11th home run of the year and his second in as many games. Simmons has now set a new career high with 70 RBI this season, which ranks him within the top 10 among MLB shortstops. The 29-year-old has also put up the best slash line of his career (.294/.340/.427) which is significantly better than his career averages of .269/.316/.382 across seven major-league seasons.

Simmons went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run in Friday's 3-0 win over the Astros.

All the scoring in the game came in the sixth inning, as Simmons' ninth homer of the year gave the Angels some extra cushion following a Mike Trout sac fly. The shortstop finished up August with three straight multi-hit performances, giving him a .280/.302/.420 slash line through 26 games on the month with three homers and 18 RBI.

Simmons went 3-for-4 with a double and three RBI in Thursday's 5-2 win over Houston.

Simmons did all his damage with a bases-clearing double in the sixth inning, giving the Angels a four-run lead that they wouldn't give up. The 28-year-old shortstop is now batting .297 on the year with 63 RBI.

Simmons went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Friday's loss to the Rangers.

Simmons gathered his eighth home run of the year with a two-run shot off reliever Jeffrey Springs in the sixth inning. The 28-year-old is just 13 RBI away from matching his career-best 69 RBI that he posted last year. His .301 batting average ranks second only to Jean Segura (.314) among MLB shortstops, and his .352 on-base percentage puts him in third at the position. Simmons sports an absurdly good strikeout rate of just 5.7 percent, which helps explain his high averages.
