Tatis Jr. Powers Padres Back Into Playoff Race | San Diego News

Fernando Tatis Jr. is on fire, turning his slow start into a historic power surge that’s catapulting the Padres back into playoff contention. After going 55 games without a homer, he finally broke out with a monster blast and hasn’t looked back—boosting his average, slugging, and team standing. Now the first MLB player to hit 23 homers in a 94-game stretch after starting zero homers in the first 55 games, Tatis is proving that grit and grind pay off—even with a massive contract. With the playoffs looming, his explosive resurgence might just be the spark that lights the Padres’ run deep into October.
