Homers late in loss
Tatis went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Wednesday's 10-4 loss to the Diamondbacks.
Analysis
Tatis got the Padres on the board in the ninth inning, but the deficit was too much to overcome. The outfielder had slipped back into a power drought lately -- he went 12 contests without a homer prior to Wednesday, batting just .234 in that span. For the season, he's hitting .280 with a .751 OPS, nine homers, 50 RBI, 59 runs scored, 26 stolen bases, 23 doubles and two triples over 113 games.

The outfielder's overall power numbers remain down compared to previous seasons, but he's made up for it by running at a career-high rate.
