Losers of eight straight, the Padres finally got it right in Denver tonight. Edgar Gonzalez hit his first home run since June 11th, and then hit a second homer to cap off a seven-run 9th, going 4-5 with three runs and three RBI in a career game for him. San Diego wins, 15-8.
The Padres put up their 15 runs on 22 hits, as seven different players had multi-hit games including Edgar's little brother Adrian.
Fantasy Impact: Adrian Gonzalez hasn't homered in a week, but he's still hitting the ball well. Edgar was a fill-in for the injured Tadahito Iguchi. Now he's hitting .325 and has three homers in 123 at bats. Although they look very similar despite despite a near four-year age gap, Edgar will never been confused with his brother. Adrian's hit 21 home runs this year and is a fantasy stud. Like the Padres, pick up Edgar for the time being as a hot stop gap.
