Goes yard again Santana went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Tuesday's 6-2 loss to the Dodgers.

Impact Santana's blast was one of just two hits for the Brewers in the contest. It was his second game in a row with a homer, though he's still hitting a meager .176 (9-for-51) in August. The first baseman is at a .226/.304/.405 slash line with 16 long balls, 60 RBI, 51 runs scored, six stolen bases and 25 doubles through 109 contests between the Brewers and the Pirates, but his Milwaukee stint has been largely unimpressive. He's also posted a 2:10 BB:K over 15 games with his new team, an unusually poor walk rate for the well-disciplined batter.

Plates three with home run Santana went 1-for-5 with a three-run homer in Sunday's win over the White Sox.

The 37-year-old is slashing a meager .226/.305/.400 with 15 home runs, 59 RBI, 50 runs and a 47:78 BB:K in 453 plate appearances. With Rowdy Tellez (finger) set to return soon, Santana could begin to lose out on starts against right-handed pitching.
