Former San Diegan ends games against Padres two days in a row, hears from his friends; Padres leading home run hitter squared to bunt his first time up in all three games of Cardinals series
That he ended up driving a ball to the warning track in that at-bat underscored the oddity of his rare bunt attempt. So too did the fact Soto’s 25 home runs are tied withSoto also bunted in his first trip to the plate on Tuesday and Wednesday, both times with Kim on base. The first time, he turned a sacrifice attempt into a single. Wednesday, it was a sacrifice.
“Just trying to do the best of what we can do to get the lead early,” said Soto, who bunted of his own volition. “‘Kimmy’ has been really hot, so I just tried to get him to scoring position and make sure we get the early lead. … I will try to do anything to win the game. I don’t mind. I don’t mind to do that. I don’t mind to take walks. I will try anything that is going to help the team to get the win.
Soto drove in runs with singles in second and seventh inning Wednesday and is 7-for-17 with five walks over the past five games.Kim led off all three games here with a single, going on to score in that first inning in the past two games. Kim moved to the leadoff spot on June 22 and has hit atop the order in all but one of his 57 starts since then. He is batting .294/.393/.482 in the top spot.Nolan Arenadopitched a scoreless seventh and eighth inning Wednesday.
