Padres infielder Yangervis Solarte went 1 for 4 with a solo home run in his team's 5-4 loss to the Rockies Wednesday.
Solarte drew the start at second base Wednesday for the first time in more than a week and batted second, swatting his home run in the top of the first inning. His presence in the lineup sent Jedd Gyorko to the bench.
"He's hitting," manager Bud Black said before the game, per MLB.com. "And Jedd is not."
Soalrte has hit .343/.378/.600 with two home runs and nine RBI in 35 at-bats.
