Jaso went 1-for-4 with a home run Thursday against the Phillies.

EDGE Analysis

Back in the leadoff spot for the first time since Aug. 2, and returning to the lineup for his first start since Saturday, Jaso wasted little time before making an impact. Jaso finished an eight-pitch at-bat by crushing a home run to center field off Jared Eickhoff to start Thursday's game. The solo shot came off Jaso's bat at 103 mph, according to Statcast, and traveled a projected 412 feet. It was his sixth homer of the season and the seventh of his career to lead off a game. After hitting .314 in 35 at-bats last month, the first baseman is off to a sluggish start in September. He's just 5-for-21 (.238) with a .304 OBP, both of which are the second-worst marks for any month this season for Jaso.
