A key for Dodgers vs. Padres? Tame the terrific Tatis

The San Diego Padres will look to make more noise in the National League West when they arrive in Los Angeles on Monday night for the opener of a four-game series.

The young Padres are on the rise with a 9-7 record to start the season, while Fernando Tatis Jr. continues to grow into his role as a star of the (near) future.

The 21-year-old Tatis hit another home run Sunday against the Arizona Diamondbacks to give him eight, tying him for the major league lead. He smacked four homers in the weekend series and led off two games against Arizona by going deep.
