Mike Jacobs went 3-for-4 with a homer Saturday in the Marlins' 4-3 victory over the Mets. Jacobs tied the game in the eighth with a solo shot off Duaner Sanchez. The Marlins then won it in the bottom of the ninth. Hanley Ramirez led off with a walk versus Aaron Heilman, advanced to second on a sac bunt and then reached third on a wild pitch. That caused the Mets to intentionally walk Jorge Cantu and Mike Jacobs to load the bases. Josh Willingham then drew the fourth walk of the inning to end the game. Heilman, who had pitched 12 scoreless innings versus Florida this season, was handed his eighth loss.

His solo shot was his second homer in four games. His 75 RBIs leave him two short of his career high, which he should easily surpass. Jacobs drove in 18 runs last September, his highest total in any month last season.

Mike Jacobs went 2-for-4 with a double, two RBI and two strikeouts in Florida's 6-4 loss to St. Louis.Jacobs will give you power and RBI, but his batting average and especially on-base percentage is problematic for fantasy owners. Still, he will likely help more than he hurts with the amount of home runs he is capable of hitting.

Jacobs has caught fire of late, drilling four doubles and two homers with five RBIs and five runs scored in his last four contests. Though his .249 average leaves something to be desired, the 27-year-old first baseman posted a stellar .514 slugging percentage in 72 at-bats last month, and entered Tuesday's affair with an absurd .733 mark through his first 30 August at-bats that leaves little question about his legitimate mashing abilities. Grab him now if he's still lingering on your league's waiver wire.

Analysis: Jacobs is hitting only .249 this season, but his 24 homers are a career-high. He could be useful in NL-only formats as a starting first baseman albeit not an ideal one. He's best used as a corner infield or DH in NL-only play and deeper mixed formats

The Mets and Marlins entertained with more than a few offensive feats of wonder this evening, though it was the hometown Mets pulling the 8-6 win. For Florida, the man of the hour was first baseman Mike Jacobs, going 3-for-3 with a walk, two doubles, and his 24th homer of the season, totaling three RBIs and two runs scored on the night.Jacobs is hitting just .158 thus far through August, this being his first multi-hit performance since July 27th.

Mike Jacobs homered, doubled twice and walked in four plate appearances on Saturday. Jacobs is still hitting just .249, which is pretty disappointing given that he's sitting against lefties, but he has 24 homers and 19 doubles in 342 at-bats. As a result, he's slugging .526, giving him a higher mark than Ryan Howard, Mark Teixeira or Justin Morneau.

Jacobs smashed his second long ball of the month and recorded his first multi-hit effort in his last 10 games. The 27-year-old first baseman continues to add to his career-high total and now has 24 long balls in 342 at-bats this season.

That's 23 homers on the year for Jacobs, who has collected just three hits over his last 14 at-bats. The slugging first baseman is batting .267 (12-for-45) since the All-Star break and remains a fine mixed-league option while providing big power numbers.
