Melvin Upton homers for first time as a Blue Jay
by Roy Widrig | Thu, Aug 18th 8:54am EDT
Melvin Upton, Jr. had his first big game as a Blue Jay on Wednesday, taking a CC Sabathia pitch deep to RF for a three-run home run, his first as a Blue Jay and his 17th of the season.
Fantasy Impact:
Seventeen is Upton's most since his career-best 28 in 2012. Upton has struggled mightily as a Blue Jay, but Wednesday was a sign of his potential as he went 2-for-3, part of a 4-for-10 series in the Bronx.
