Nick Markakis smacked a two-run homer off Blue Jay starter Ricky Romero on SUnday.
The homer was his 18th of the season, and the two RBI pushed him over the century mark to 101. Markakis did a nice job improving his strikeout rate from 19% to 15%, but he regressed in every other facet of the game, including most notably his walk total dropping from 99 to 56. There's still plenty of talent here for the soon-to-be 26-year-old, and a step forward in 2010 is still possible.
