So, it'd make sense to look at plate appearances
Innings 1-3: 273 PA 21 HR = 13 PA/HR
Innings 4-6: 212 PA 19 HR = 11.1 PA/HR
Innings 7-9: 193 PA 18 HR = 10.7 PA/HR

He homered more often in the late innings
But
Those are pretty small samples to draw conclusions on. Especially based on events like homeruns that happen infrequently.
His tOPS, which compares a players' performance in a split to the league average in that split, is as follows.
1-3: 249
4-6: 202
7-9: 248
His overall performance in innings 7-9 was about equal, relative to the league, as his performance in innings 1-3. And drop off in 4-6
Again, this is probably sample size noise more than any real change in performance.
