TORONTO -- The Blue Jays didn't necessarily acquire Yangervis Solarte because of his power, but he has been providing plenty of pop during his first season in Toronto.
Solarte's slugging surge continued on Friday night with a two-homer game that helped lead the Blue Jays to a 6-5 victory over the Nationals at Rogers Centre. Devon Travis also homered while Aaron Sanchez tossed six strong innings, but it was Solarte who once again stole the show.
Prior to 2018, Solarte had never hit more than 18 home runs in a season.
