That’s exactly what Morrison is having — a career-high 24 home runs, 57 RBI and a .579 slugging percentage, which ranks him in the top 10 in the American League in all three categories.
During his 8-year big league career, Morrison has a total 108 home runs, 92 of which have come against right-handed pitching.
