Matt Olson did it again on Monday. In the 3rd inning he launched yet another home run, this time against the Tigers in his first trip to Comerica Park. Over the weekend, he’d homered in all three games at Citizens Bank in Philly. He’s gone deep four games in a row, 5-of-6, and 7-of-9. It doesn’t get any hotter than this.
Increase the sample to the last few weeks and nothing is different. Olson is so locked in that he’s matching some impressive Oakland history.

14 Reggie, 5/30-6/22, 1969— Mike Selleck (@MikeSelleck) September 19, 2017That’s a Hall of Fame slugger and a guy who can’t get votes for the Hall because he was too superhumanly good at hitting dingers.
