Xander Bogaerts homers, Padres fall to Rockies

Xander Bogaerts went 1-for-4 with a home run and an RBI in the Padres' 7-3 loss to the Rockies.
Fantasy Impact:
His solo shot was the highlight in an otherwise quiet offensive day for San Diego. Bogaerts's power display, contributing his sixth homer of the season, offers a glimmer of hope for fantasy managers who have watched his batting average hover around the .267 mark through 73 games. Despite the modest RBI total (25) and the lack of multi-hit games recently, his ability to connect for extra-base hits remains intact. Fantasy managers should keep an eye on his performance to gauge if this home run can spark a more consistent hitting streak, though expectations should be tempered given the overall offensive trends this season.
