Fernando Tatis Jr. Reaches Twice, Swipes A Bag
1 year agoSan Diego Padres outfielder Fernando Tatis Jr. went 1-for-3 with a single, a walk, a stolen base, and two strikeouts in a 4-1 loss to the Baltimore Orioles on Monday. The Padres couldn't get much of anything going against Grayson Rodriguez and the Orioles' bullpen as they mustered just four hits as a team, only one of which went for extra bases. Tatis Jr. was still able to salvage his night by reaching base twice and stealing his 20th base of the year. It's been a struggle for Tatis--and for most of the Padres lineup, for that matter--over the last month. The 24-year-old is slashing just .203/.258/.333 over the last 30 games so any game in which he reaches base multiple times should be considered a step in the right direction. With that said, he's working on a modest four-game hit streak so he'll look to extend that tomorrow against Jack Flaherty and the O's. For the season, Tatis is slashing .261/.319/.466 with 19 home runs, 62 RBI, and 20 stolen bases over 414 at-bats.
