Tommy Edman - Swats solo shotEdman went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Thursday's 9-0 win over the Pirates.ImpactEdman hit ninth Thursday against the right-handed JT Brubaker after hitting leadoff in an everyday role last season. His first hit of the season left the yard in the eighth inning off reliever Aaron Fletcher. Edman isn't known for his pop -- he's posted a modest 27 homers across his three major-league seasons. Batting at the bottom of the order could hurt the second baseman's production due to a drop in the volume of his plate appearances, though there's still a chance he'll hit leadoff against southpaws.
