TORONTO - The A’s All-Star is in his first extended funk of the season, but Yonder Alonso is not alarmed. He turned around his career with his hot hitting this season, and he knows that the way he did so was by sticking with the process.

“I’m one swing away, I’m one pitch away,” Alonso said. “I’ve had good at-bats, long at-bats, I’m still getting walks, it’s just a matter of time before balls start finding holes. Two days away, three days away, I’ll be hitting .280 again, but I don’t care about that stuff as long as my work is good, my mind is healthy.
