Four hits in blowout win Yoshida went 4-for-4 with two doubles, three RBI and one run scored in Friday's victory over the Yankees.

Yoshida has appeared in 61 of the team's first 70 games, so he's nearly an everyday player and is slashing .309/.383/.479 with seven home runs, 36 RBI, three stolen bases and 35 runs scored.
