Tatis homers to extend his career-best hitting streak to 16 as the Padres beat the A’s 6-1
SAN DIEGO (AP) - Fernando Tatis Jr. homered to extend his career-best hitting streak to 16 games, the longest current streak in the majors, and Dylan Cease won for the first time in six starts as the San Diego Padres beat the Oakland Athletics 6-1 on Monday night.
Jake Cronenworth also homered for the Padres, who have hit multiple homers in four straight games.
The A’s have lost nine of their last 12 games and are a season-worst 16 games under .500.
There was a three-minute delay in the bottom of the seventh when some of Petco Park’s lights went out. When play resumed, with the Padres leading 3-1, Donovan Solano drew a bases-loaded walk from Michel Otanez. Rookie Jackson Merrill followed with his third hit, an RBI single, and Ha-Seong Kim added a sacrifice fly.
