While it was a series to forget for the Padres, as they dropped two of three on the road against the Minnesota Twins, there was a key moment that Friar fans should be happy about as we enter the final month of the regular season.
Elías Díaz hit not one but two home runs in the second game of the series, which the Padres won in blowout fashion by a score of 12–3.
The first homer came in the fifth inning off right-hander Taj Bradley, a solo shot into the left-field bleachers that tied the game at one apiece.
