  • Jake Cronenworth hits 10th homer in Padres’ win
    Jake Cronenworth homered, doubled and scored twice as the Padres topped the A’s 6-1 on Monday.

    Advice: Cronenworth has two homers in three games after going his previous 19 games without one. His exit velocity numbers have trended downwards after a surprisingly hot start in April, but he’s still performing better than his decline the previous two seasons indicated he would; he’s back up to .267/.331/.463 after tonight. He has as many homers (10) in 288 plate appearances this year that he did in 522 last season. Rotoworld Monday, 11:31 pm
