Yanquiel Fernandez News: Hits first career homer

Fernandez went 1-for-1 with a two-run home run during Friday's 17-16 win over the Pirates.

With the Rockies down by six in the bottom of the eighth, Fernandez jumpstarted the final wave of the Colorado comeback with a two-run home run off the bench, his first as a big leaguer. Since being called up from Triple-A Albuquerque in early July, the 22-year-old has seen relatively irregular playing time and has been limited to a .224/.240/.327 slash line over 50 plate appearances.
