Jackson Merrill powers Padres past Red Sox with key homer
by Chris Schommer | Padres Correspondent | Sat, Jun 29th 6:28am EDT
Jackson Merrill went 1-for-5 with a home run and three RBI in the Padres' 9-2 victory over the Red Sox.
Fantasy Impact:
His lone hit of the game was a significant one, driving in three runs to help secure the win for San Diego. This performance underscores Merrill's emerging power potential in his rookie season. With 11 homers and 40 RBI through 82 games, he's proving to be a valuable asset in fantasy lineups, especially in deeper leagues or those that reward extra-base hits. While his strikeout rate remains modest and his walk rate could use improvement, Merrill's ability to contribute in multiple categories can't be overlooked. His consistent playing time and ability to drive in runs make him a solid option at the shortstop position.
