Valencia went 2-for-5 with a home run and two runs scored in Thursday's win over the Angels.
Valencia's homer in the fourth inning was the third solo shot against Angels starter Ricky Nolasco. He was in right field again Thursday after sitting Wednesday in favor of Max Muncy. Manager Bob Melvin indicated that Valencia will remain in a part-time role even with the departure of Josh Reddick, as the team looks to get younger players at-bats with an eye toward the future.
