Jackson Merrill

With temperatures soaring to 95 degrees at Petco Park, Jackson Merrill was even hotter at the plate for the San Diego Padres in a 9-2 victory over the Washington Nationals. The third-year outfielder crushed two homers and a go-ahead triple for a career-high six RBI in the win. “Just chasing wins and doing it with my friends, so that’s fun,” Merrill said.
