Jackson Merrill Launches 11th Home Run
6 months agoSan Diego Padres outfielder Jackson Merrill went 1-for-5 in Friday's 9-2 win over the Red Sox, with his lone hit being a three-run home run in the fifth inning. It was Merrill's 11th long ball of the season and eighth in the month of June after swatting just three over the first two months of the season. The 21-year-old now has a .282-11-40-37-9 line with a .328 wOBA, 118 wRC+, and is building a strong case for NL Rookie of the Year.
