Nieuwenhuis blasted home runs his first three times up on Sunday. Nieuwenhuis was unable to hit the fourth one, striking out in his last at-bat. He homered to left, just above the orange home run line, left-center and then hit the pole in right. The home runs were Nieuwenhuis' first three of the season. If Juan Lagares' right right cal sidelines him after the All-Star break, Nieuwenhuis would likely start in center field.
