Franmil Reyes Blasts Third Homer In Three Games
7 years agoSan Diego Padres outfielder Franmil Reyes hit his third home run in as many games Wednesday against the Miami Marlins. Reyes launched an opposite-field solo shot off the right field foul pole in the fourth inning and also drew a walk to start the ninth-inning comeback rally. After bombing 14 long balls in 36 games for Triple-A El Paso, the powerful rookie now has four homers with the Padres. Although half of his eight hits have left the yard, he's struggled with contact, slashing only .200/.256/.500 with a 16/3 strikeout-to-walk ratio. With outfielders Franchy Cordero (forearm) and Wil Myers (oblique) on the disabled list, Reyes currently has a clear path to playing time. He may eventually be sent back to the minors once the Padres are at full health, but for now he could be a deep league power option and low-cost daily fantasy streamer.
