Goes yard in loss Gilbert went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and a second RBI in Monday's 6-3 extra-inning loss to the Astros.

Impact Gilbert ended his 24-game power drought with a homer in the seventh inning. The outfielder had added just three RBI and two extra-base hits in that span. Gilbert is hitting .237 with a .683 OPS, five homers, 24 RBI, 31 runs scored, 10 doubles, three triples and one stolen base over 95 contests. While he's competing for the starting job in center field, his lack of both power and speed will restrict his ability to rack up counting stats.

Settling back into everyday role Gilbert will start in center field and bat eighth in Sunday's game against the Rockies.

Impact Gilbert didn't start in either of the Giants' ensuing two games after he went 4-for-4 in a loss to the Rockies on July 5, but he's gone on to crack the lineup in each of the five contests after that. His increased playing time has coincided with Victor Bericoto landing on the injured list with an oblique injury, which has opened up an extra spot in the outfield. Gilbert will likely fade into a reserve role once any of Bericoto, Harrison Bader (foot) or Matt Chapman (abdomen) return from the IL.
