LF Ben Revere hit his first home run of the season in the Angels' 7-3 win at Oakland on Tuesday night. The homer was the seventh of Revere's career in 2,914 at-bats. The rate of one homer every 416 at-bats is the lowest in the majors among all players with 2,000 or more plate appearances.

OF Ben Revere hopes to rebuild his career. The 28-year-old missed the first month of last season because of a strained oblique muscle and hit just .217 in 103 games with the Washington Nationals. When healthy, Revere can provide speed and contact hitting. He batted .295 from 2011 to 2015 and averaged 35.6 steals during that time. If LF Cameron Maybin falters, Revere would take his place. Revere almost came to the Angels from the Philadelphia Phillies in July 2015 for RHP Trevor Gott but Los Angeles withdrew at the last moment.

Revere was traded in January by the Toronto Blue Jays to Washington for former Nationals closer Drew Storen.
