Steve Pearce homers twice as Toronto loses to the Yankees

Toronto Blue Jays outfielder Steve Pearce was a perfect 4-for-4 from the dish on Tuesday, going deep twice in an 11-5 loss at the hands of the New York Yankees.

What It Means:

Those were the first two home runs of the year for Pearce, who has struggled so far in his first full season with the Jays, slashing only .224/.262/.345 with a .265 wOBA through 61 plate appearances.

numberFire's models project Pearce to pick things up a bit and hit .272 while notching another 10 home runs, scoring 31 runs and driving in 34 RBI's over 281 plate appearances for the remainder of the season.
