Finally finds long ball in win Ozuna went 3-for-4 with a two-run homer, a walk, three RBI and two runs scored in Tuesday's 14-8 loss to the Marlins.

Impact Ozuna finally got his bat going with his first multi-hit performance of the season, and he showcased his power after clubbing a low changeup to open up the scoring with a two-run homer in the first.
