Grichuk hits two-run homer in loss
Randal Grichuk hit a two-run homer in a loss to the Padres on Friday. Grichuk was almost the hero Friday, as his two-run blast off Robert Suarez gave the Diamondbacks an 8-7 lead in the ninth inning. Unfortunately for the D-Backs and those who roster Paul Sewald, it wasn’t meant to be. Grichuk has been a strong option off the bench/against lefties for Arizona in 2024 with a .294/.347/.462 slash, three homers and 20 RBI.
Profar hits game-tying homer in ninth
Jurickson Profar hit a game-tying homer in the ninth to help the Padres to a victory on Friday over the Diamondbacks. Profar tied the game at 8-8 with a homer off Paul Sewald in the bottom of the ninth. The 31-year-old continues to impress in his breakout campaign with a .316/.409/.490 slash along with 13 homers and 57 RBI. Just like we all expected.
