Jason Kubel hit a three-run homer in Wednesday's loss to the Padres. Kubel's bomb off of Jason Marquis ended up being his only hit in four trips to the plate, though he also drew a walk. Now hitting an elite .296/.367/.533 through Arizona's first 81 games, Kubel is 4-for-12 in July, with three of his hits leaving the yard.
