Murphy went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in a 3-1 loss to Seattle on Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

That is now back-to-back games in the leadoff spot and back-to-back games with a home run. If he continues to hit leadoff, his value would rise exponentially, as he'll hit in front on Kole Calhoun, Mike Trout, and Albert Pujols. Prior to being moved to the leadoff spot, Murphy was just 2-for-17, so it was probably a confidence booster for the lefty as well.
