Homers in loss Rojas went 2-for-5 with a solo home run in Wednesday's extra-inning loss to the Red Sox.

Rojas batted leadoff for the first time in six games Wednesday, and that could continue to be his slot in the lineup for as long as Victor Robles (hip) remains out of action.

Big homer in Friday's win Rojas went 1-for-5 with a three-run home run in a win over the White Sox on Friday.
Impact Rojas made his one hit count, lasering a 386-foot shot to right center in the first inning that brought home Jason Vosler and Mitch Garver. The blast was the first of three straight for the Mariners in the opening frame and snapped a 31-game home-run drought for Rojas, who'd last left the yard June 15. Despite the big hit, Rojas still has a ways to go to bring his numbers back up to par with his early-season body of work, as he's hitting just .158 and sporting an anemic .518 OPS in 66 plate appearances in July.

Rojas now has four multi-hit efforts in the last 12 games, a stretch during which he's accumulated five extra-base hits despite a modest .250 average and .302 on-base percentage. Friday's production also snapped a rare skid for Rojas, who'd gone 0-for-14 over the previous four contests.
