SAN DIEGO -- It's awfully hard to find quality young catchers who contribute regularly at the plate in the big leagues.
The Padres might have two of them.
A day after Francisco Mejia cranked a walk-off grand slam against the Rangers, Austin Hedges went deep in the second inning against San Francisco in a 4-2 Padres defeat on Monday night. Hedges turned on a 2-0 slider from Giants starter Andrew Suarez and sent it off the facing of the second deck in left field, giving the Padres an early lead.
