Fernando Tatis Jr. Ends 21-Game Home Run Drought
San Diego Padres outfielder Fernando Tatis Jr. smashed a three-run home run in a 5-1 win over the Kansas City Royals on Saturday. With the Padres leading 2-1 in the bottom of the seventh, Tatis stepped up with two men on and belted a 380-footer off right-hander Taylor Clarke. Tatis also walked during a 1-for-3 night. The homer broke a career-worst drought for Tatis, who hadn't gone deep in 21 games dating to May 27. It was also his first hit since Monday. He entered the game mired in an 0-for-13 skid over his previous four contests. Despite his recent struggles, the two-time All-Star is still having a strong season. Tatis is slashing .268/.357/.461 with 14 HRs, 34 RBI, 56 runs scored, and 15 steals in 325 plate appearances. He'll take on Royals righty Seth Lugo on Sunday.
