Yepez went 1-for-4 with a three-run home run Thursday against the Rockies.
Yepez's eighth-inning blast drove in three and put the game on ice for the Nationals. It was the fourth homer of the season for Yepez, who broke a 2-for-29 spell when he sent the Peter Lambert sweeper over the center field fence. Yepez now holds a .278 average with 16 extra-base hits, 20 RBI, 20 runs and two steals across 151 at-bats.
