Howard went 2-for-4 with a solo homer, two RBI and a run in Thursday's 11-2 loss to the Rockies.

It was a rare ray of sunshine in an otherwise nightmarish season for the veteran slugger, who's still slashing only .158/.219/.362 after Thursday's strong effort. While Howard has shown he still has plenty of pop in his bat, he's been incredibly feast-or-famine this season, striking out 68 times over 196 at-bats, and generating only four extra-base hits, all doubles, in addition to his 12 round-trippers.
