Blue Jays' Devon Travis: Homers in loss to Rockies

Travis homered and scored twice as part of a 2-for-4 game in Monday's loss to the Rockies.

Analysis:

Travis struggled to find his power over his first few weeks back, as he owned a .301 slugging percentage and just one home run through his first 19 games. In his nine games since, however, Travis now has four home runs to go along with three doubles and has raised his batting line to a robust .274/.304/.491. He has only taken five walks this season, but this kind of power performance is going to scare pitchers away from the zone, and maybe he can start to show the discipline again then. His 7.5 percent walk rate last season was just under the league average. Regardless, if he can hit the ball this hard, nobody's going to complain if he keeps swinging away.
