Luis Arraez News: Pops third homer

Arraez went 3-for-5 with a two-run home run in Friday's 6-4 loss to the Astros.

The 28-year-old contact king lofted a Bryan King fastball at the top of the zone down the right-field line in the seventh inning, accounting for the Padres' final offense of the night. Arraez has hit safely in six straight games, batting .357 (10-for-28) over that stretch to boost his slash line on the season to .294/.322/.435, but he's also flashing more power than usual to kick off 2025. Arraez has homered three times in 20 games after leaving the yard only four times in 150 regular-season contests last year.
