"Alex Rios' slump has reached the point where he's going to swing if he's feeling fine, regardless of his stance or where his hands are placed.

"I don't know what happened," Rios said of his .168 batting average entering Tuesday night's game. "I just got lost at some point and it has been a little difficult to get that feeling back. But I'm working on it, and let's see what happens."

Rios pulled a home run down the left-field line Monday night and prefers not to discuss his mechanics. He would rather just take aggressive swings at strikes."
