Coming off back-to-back wins over the Dodgers on the road, the Padres seem to be picking up some steam. Fernando Tatis Jr. popped a pair of home runs off Clayton Kershaw Friday night – and Trent Grisham added two more hits in the victory.
The San Diego outfielder has been nothing short of dominant early this season. That two-hit effort boosted his line to an eye-popping .333/.418/.604 on the year. He seems like a lock to set a new career-high in home runs, given he’s already got four and he’s never hit more than 10 in a year – and he continues to change the game defensively with his Gold Glove-caliber defense.
