Port Jervis Solarte was 0-for-hislast-28 when he stepped to the plate in the 9th inning last night in Toronto. He’d hit the ball hard at times over the weekend but had nothing to show for it. On Sunday, there was a pained look on his face after every out. But last night he swung at the first pitch and hit a line drive to center field to drive in a run.
It was a nice moment. Reason I mention it is that it was practically the only nice moment in an 8-3 beat down.

That shortstop had a pretty good play in the field, grab deep in the hole and good throw.
Can't think of anything else.
1) Good point.
