Padres third baseman Yangervis Solarte has been a one-hit wonder lately. He had exactly one hit in eight of his last nine starts heading into play Saturday in Texas.
That ended with a bang. Solarte doubled in the first, walked twice, then blasted a two-run homer off Rangers closer Shawn Tolleson in the ninth to turn defeat into victory.
Solarte now owns a slash line on the year of .252/.306/.391.
