Nate Mondou went 1-for-3, as did outfielder Cal Mitchell.

Addison Kopack tripled and doubled in four at-bats. Kaden Hollow had a perfect 2-for-2 game and B.Y. Choi homered for the third time on the year. Choi is a left-handed hitting infielder with a lot of power to his swing There is a ton of swing and miss to his approach right now, but he shows great raw power.

Ruben Salinas started the game and didn’t allow a run in the first. He was relieved by Yerry Landinez, who went 1.2 innings pitched and allowed one earned run. Langston Burkett was roughed up for four runs (two earned) in 0.2 innings pitched. Maikel Miralles pitched a scoreless inning and Bernard Jose recorded the save for the Padres.
