Hits first two homers Salas went 2-for-4 with a pair of home runs and three RBI in Wednesday's 9-3 win over the Rockies.

Impact Salas went yard in the second and fifth innings for the first two homers of his big-league career. All three of his hits so far have gone for extra bases -- his first career knock was a triple on Sunday in San Francisco. Salas is batting .143 with seven strikeouts over his first 21 plate appearances in the majors, so he still has some adjustments to make to hold his own against big-league pitchers.
