Gavin Sheets is fighting to make the roster for the San Diego Padres and with his third home run in three days, he is making a strong case for why he should.
Sheets stepped to the plate with the Padres trailing the Cincinnati Reds in the bottom of the fifth inning and he hit the fifth pitch of the at bat, a four-seam fastball, 403 feet to right field. The home run pulled the Padres within a run of the Reds 3-2, but they were never able to catch Cincinnati and took a 9-3 loss in Peoria, Monday.
