What happened: Eldridge sent an elevated fastball from a left-handed pitcher over the opposite-field wall.

Why it matters: The homer adds to a rookie power profile that stood out by midseason.

By the numbers: Eldridge led NL rookies in slugging and wRC+ in July. Through Sept. 6, he carried a .262/.359/.447 slash line and an .806 OPS.

What to watch: His next plate appearances will show whether the opposite-field power carries into the final weeks.
