Collects three RBI
Merrill went 2-for-4 with three RBI and a stolen base in Monday's win over the Cardinals.

Walks off Mets Sunday
Merrill went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Sunday's 3-2 win over the Mets.
Analysis
Merrill showcased his clutch gene once again with a walk-off home run off Edwin Diaz. The 21-year-old rookie leads the league with six game-tying or go-ahead home runs in the eighth inning or later this season. He's notched at least a hit in nine of his last 10 games, slashing .308/.325/.615 with just three strikeouts over that span. For the year, Merrill is hitting .288/.319/.488 with 19 homers, 72 RBI, 65 runs, 13 steals and a 22:85 BB:K in 482 plate appearances and is making an appealing case to win National League Rookie of the Year.

Goes deep in loss
Merrill went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run against Minnesota in a loss Wednesday.
Analysis
Merrill's two-run blast in the eighth inning didn't have much of an impact on the outcome of the contest, as San Diego still trailed by six runs after the long ball. However, it snapped an eight-game homerless stretch for the rookie and pushed him to 18 home runs and 71 RBI on the campaign. Merrill is working on a modest six-game hitting streak during which he's batted .375 (9-for-24) with five extra-base hits and seven RBI.
