Padres third baseman Ty France was a 34th-round pick in 2015 out of San Diego State, where he played college ball for three years. The past homestand was his first extended time back in San Diego and he celebrated with his first career home run off one of the Mets’ hard-throwing aces.
Union-Tribune: You hit your first career home run off Tuesday night Noah Syndergaard. How did it feel off the bat?
France: It was a pretty surreal moment to get the first one out of the way.
