Solarte went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Tuesday's win over the Rockies.

Solarte snapped a 21-game homerless streak Tuesday, taking Tyler Chatwood deep in the sixth. The veteran second baseman has been hitting well early on, batting .282 through 28 games. The power is the only part of his game that hasn't come along yet (only eight of 29 hits have gone for extra bases), but Tuesday's long ball could get him back on track in that department. After hitting 15 home runs in 443 plate appearances last season, there is a realistic chance that the 29-year-old could reach the 20-homer mark over the course of a full season.
