Gerardo Parra Homers Off The Bench
3 years agoWashington Nationals outfielder Gerardo Parra came off the bench to replace an injured Victor Robles Friday, and he delivered a three-run home run off San Diego Padres relief pitcher Miguel Diaz. He was retired in his three other plate appearances, twice by strikeout. Parra is primed to see plenty of playing time over the next several weeks with Kyle Schwarber on the injured list and Josh Harrison forced to play more third base with Starlin Castro away from the team. Parra has only a .681 OPS in 40 at-bats so far this year, but he'll be a sneaky addition for playing time alone in deeper leagues.
