Katz in home-run doubt

First baseman Mason Katz, who tied a career high with 13 home runs in the first 28 games, has not homered in the past 25 games.

“It’s weird,” Katz said. “This is one of the longest streaks without a home run I’ve ever been on. It’s weird that it came in my best home run season. I can’t really try to do it, because if I try more to do it, it will never happen. They’re going to come soon. My swing is starting to feel really, really good. I’m starting to hit balls hard.

“One of these days I’m just bound to run into one. I’m bound to accidentally hit a pop-up and the wind is blowing out and takes it out to left field. It’s going to come. I know I’m not done hitting home runs this year. I hope I’m saving them all for the postseason.”
