Fernando Tatis Jr. Hits 18th Home Run

San Diego Padres shortstop Fernando Tatis Jr. accounted for all of the Padres' offense against the New York Mets Saturday, hitting a long solo home run off of starter Marcus Stroman in the seventh inning.

Trent Grisham Hitless In Return From The Injured List

San Diego Padres outfielder Trent Grisham returned from the injured list Saturday and went 0-for-3 with a walk against the New York Mets.
