It took a few games, but Juan Soto finally has his home run in a San Diego Padres uniform. It couldn’t come against the Dodgers? No, of course not. It came against Alex Cobb and the San Francisco Giants in San Diego’s 7-4 victory on Tuesday night.
Cobb was far from the sharpest he’s looked this season. He needed 91 pitches to get through five busy innings, surrendering a pair of walks and six hits, including Soto’s aforementioned homer. Still, it was in line with what the Giants have seen all season from Cobb.
