Fernando Tatis Jr. went 2-for-3 with a double, RBI, run scored, two walks and a stolen base on Sunday night, propelling the Padres to a 4-1 victory over the visiting Rangers.
The 26-year-old superstar led off the home half of the first with a single off of Jack Leiter but wound up getting stranded at third base. He then walked to open the third inning, stole second base and scored the Padres’ first run on an RBI single by Luis Arraez. Tatis also drove in a run of his own with an RBI double in the fourth inning, giving the Padres a 2-1 lead they would never relinquish. He’s enjoying another solid season at the dish, slashing .261/.355/.444 with 15 homers, 39 RBI and 19 stolen bases through his first 87 ballgames.
