Gavin Sheets News: Powers offense in win
Sheets went 3-for-5 with a three-run home run and two doubles in Saturday's 6-4 win over the Reds.
Sheets gave the Padres a 6-4 lead in the seventh inning with a 422-foot blast that held up as the game-winning play. It was the 29-year-old's first homer since June 14, and he snapped a 3-for-18 slump over his previous five games. He's now slashing .265/.322/.470 with 13 long balls, 49 RBI, 33 runs scored and one steal across 295 plate appearances in what's shaping up to be a career-best campaign.
