Yankee third baseman Yangervis Solarte becomes the first player in major league history to double six times in the first seven games of his career when he collects a pair of two-baggers in the team’s 14-5 loss to Baltimore in the Bronx. The 26 year-old rookie, who will be traded to the Padres in July, along with minor leaguer Rafael De Paula, for Chase Headley and cash, ends the day with a .429 batting average, going 12-for-28 since the start of the season.

The White Sox explode for 6 home runs, including the first two of Cuban defector Jose Abreu’s career, as they defeat Colorado, 15 – 3, in a game typical of Coors Field. Avisail Garciaalso hits two homers, and Tyler Flowers and Alexei Ramirez each go deep once as the White Sox score 11 times over the last three innings to break open what was a close game until then.

Brewers slugger Ryan Braun is greeted by boos in his first appearance in Philadelphia since serving a 65-game suspension for PED use, but he gets his revenge by hitting his first three homers of the year to lead his team to a 10 – 4 win. His first long ball, off Kyle Kendrick in the 3rd, is Braun’s first since May 22, 2013, ending the longest drought of his career, while his 7 RBIs tie a team record. He also makes a great catch in right field, robbing the Phillies of two runs when he snags Carlos Ruiz’s sinking line drive to end the 2nd inning.
