TORONTO — Ryan Goins has two opposite-field home runs in his major league career: the one he hit off Jhan Marinez this April in Tampa Bay and the one he hit Monday night off Yankees starter Ivan Nova, when he took a 2-0 fastball into the left field bullpen at Rogers Centre.
The common denominator between those two hits? Devon Travis was in the dugout and not in the game. Travis was in there for the April big fly in Tampa because he was still rehabbing from shoulder surgery in nearby Dunedin; and he was there again on Monday serving a scheduled day off.
