RecapGeorge Valera hit his first big-league homer in the first game of Saturday’s doubleheader against the Twins.
Valera pulled a ball 358 feet to right against Joe Ryan. He’s started three out of the last four games at DH after being included in the lineup just five times in his 15 games on the roster, and he’s gone 7-for-26 overall. He’ll probably continue to start against most righties, especially now than Nolan Jones is out.
