Fernando Tatis Jr. had a remarkable night at the plate, going 5 for 5 with two RBIs, leading the San Diego Padres to an 8-7 victory over the Colorado Rockies on Tuesday night. Xander Bogaerts’ sacrifice fly in the bottom of the ninth inning secured the win.
Tatis became the first major leaguer this season to record a five-hit game and the first player for the Padres to accomplish the feat since Adrián González on August 11, 2009. All five of Tatis’ hits were singles.
The Padres and Rockies battled back and forth throughout the contest, ultimately culminating in a dramatic finish. Bogaerts' sacrifice fly allowed the winning run to score, completing the Padres’ comeback and giving them the 8-7 victory.
