Finally, the Padres are starting to hit. It comes as no surprise that Wil Myers and rookie Manuel Margot, who are leading the club in average and hits, continued their strong campaigns this weeks. What may come a surprise though is that power hitters Austin Hedges and Ryan Schimpf are starting to break out of their slumps, after spending the first five weeks of the year well under the Mendoza Line.
Still however, the improved offense hasn’t yielded any better results in the win column. San Diego was only able to notch two victories this week as inter-league play began with a four game series with the Texas Rangers and a weekend set with the Chicago White Sox.
