Jason Kipnis entered Thursday's game against the Baltimore Orioles batting .209 with zero home runs. That average increased after his first homer early on in the game, but in the bottom of the fourth inning, Kipnis hit another one, this time a three-run blast to right field to give the Cleveland Indians a 6-5 lead.

Every slumping player is due for a home run eventually. For Jason Kipnis, however, he was due two of them, and this could be the start of an offensive rally the Indians have been desperately looking for.
