Decker's first start in L.A. holds special meaning
Decker's first career RBI 0:29 10/2/15: Cody Decker lifts a sacrifice fly to right field in the top of the 7th, driving in Melvin Upton Jr. for his first Major League RBI "I have a Major League stat, and that's a good start," Decker said. "Any big league stat is better than all my Minor League stats combined. No one's going to look at my Minor League stats and go, 'Oh, what a ballplayer!" They're going to look at the RBI and say, 'Hey you did that.'"
Decker, 28, had a seventh-inning sacrifice fly, giving the Padres their second run on a night when little went right. Don't tell Decker as much, though.
