Jonathan Villar went 2-for-4 with two runs scored, two RBIs, two home runs, and one strikeout.

Villar has been bumped to seventh in the order now that Brandon Nimmo is healthy. He's getting regular at-bats, playing third, but that could end when J.D. Davis returns. The homers were Villar's first hits since returning from the IL on July Fourth.
