If the Padres offense looked even partially like the one we saw on Friday night for most of the season there wouldn't be so much buzz about trading for Juan Soto.
The Friars played their first game at Petco Park since before the All-Star break and smoked five home runs in a 10-1 win over Minnesota in front of another sellout crowd in the East Village. Luke Voit started the festivities with a 2-run home run in the 1st inning off Twins starter Joe Ryan. When it came off the bat it sailed so high that nobody was sure if it would leave the park.
Seven seconds later it landed a couple rows into the left field bleachers. Voit also doubled home a run and his hard work in the batting cage has paid off. Since making a change in his setup, spreading out his stance a bit, Voit has been the masher the Padres were hoping they'd get in a Spring Training trade. Over his last 10 games Voit is hitting .278 with three homers, three doubles, 11 RBI, and a .968 OPS.
