Launches game-winning long ball
Merrill went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run Monday in a 3-2 win against the Brewers.
Анализ
Merrill came up big in the seventh inning, belting a two-run shot to center field to turn a one-run deficit into a one-run lead. It was the third straight game with a long ball for the center fielder, and the hit extended his on-base streak to 10 games spanning the entirety of August. Merrill is slashing .359/.390/.744 during that stretch with four homers, nine runs, 13 RBI and two stolen bases. His .712 season OPS remains mildly disappointing, but he's at a much more impressive 1.038 OPS across 24 contests since the All-Star break.

Goes yard again
Merrill went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Sunday's 7-2 win over the Astros.
Анализ
Merrill homered for the second game in a row and has hit safely in eight of his last nine contests. In that span, he's gone 13-for-36 (.361) with three homers and 11 RBI. The outfielder is batting .244 with a .705 OPS, 18 homers, 59 RBI, 60 runs scored, 18 doubles, two triples and 23 stolen bases over 116 contests this year. Assuming he can maintain his recent power hitting, he's within striking distance of his first 20-20 season.

Homers, swipes bag Saturday
Merrill went 1-for-4 with a solo home run, an additional RBI and a stolen base in a 3-2 win against Houston on Saturday.
Анализ
Merrill plated the Padres' first run on a bases-loaded fielder's choice in the first inning. He added a 421-foot solo shot to center field in the third. The 23-year-old has been hot to begin August, batting .344 (11-for-32) with two homers, nine RBI, seven runs and two stolen bases through eight games. Merrill is still batting a modest .242 on the season, but he's faring much better with a .333 mark and seven of his 18 homers across 22 games since the All-Star break.
