Knocks homer in loss Drury went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and an additional RBI in Friday's 9-5 loss to the Mariners.

Impact Drury has homered twice over his last four contests after a 62-game power drought. He's still not hitting particularly well, going 3-for-26 (.115) over his last eight games. For the season, the infielder is at a .159/.243/.218 slash line with three homers, 13 RBI, 25 runs scored and six doubles over 284 plate appearances. Most of his lost playing time has been due to injuries, but the Angels could reduce his workload over the final month if they want to get a look at an infield prospect or evaluate other members of their current major-league roster.

Ends power drought in loss Drury went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Sunday's 8-2 loss to the Blue Jays.

Impact Drury ended a power drought dating back to April with his eighth-inning homer, though it had little impact on the result.
