Alcides Escobar recorded a career-high seven home runs in 2016, more than he had in his previous two seasons combined (six).
He hit his first home run of the season on June 24 vs. Houston off reigning Cy Young Award winner, Dallas Keuchel, snapping a 455 at-bat streak without a home run, which was the third-longest active streak in the Majors among non-pitchers, according to Elias.
Escobar hit his second homer on Aug. 7 vs. Toronto, a solo shot to right-center field to mark his first career home run to right of center field.
