Another long ball Monday Baldwin went 1-for-4 with a walk and a solo home run in Monday's loss to the Mariners.

Impact The slugging catcher led off the game with his ninth homer of the season, as he launched a Logan Gilbert slider 426 feet to right-center field.

Over the last 20 games, Baldwin is slashing a sizzling .321/.409/.506 with four long balls, 13 RBI and 18 runs.
