Machado homers, Padres earn split with Pirates in 8-3 win

Manny Machado hit his third home run of the season, Eric Hosmer added two hits and two RBIs and the San Diego Padres jumped on the Pittsburgh Pirates early in an 8-3 win

Steals base in loss Hosmer went 1-for-3 with two walks and an RBI in Tuesday's 8-4 loss to the Pirates.

Impact Hosmer registered a hit for the fourth consecutive game with an RBI single in the fourth. He managed to get on twice more via walk and also got to first after a fielder's choice and ended up taking second for his first steal of the year. The stolen base was a rarity, as Hosmer hasn't topped more than 10 steals in a season since 2013. He is rewarding fantasy managers with solid contact skills and a knack for getting on base. The 31-year-old is slashing .341/.438/.610 with three home runs, nine RBI and five runs scored and continues to be one of the most consistent hitters in the Padres' lineup.

The veteran first baseman is slashing .355/.412/.710 with three home runs and eight RBI in eight games this season. Hosmer is poised for a nice season, batting cleanup in one of the most talented offenses in the league.

Sits against southpaw Hosmer will be on the bench against lefty Caleb Smith and the Diamondbacks on Saturday.

Impact Hosmer started against the left-handed Madison Bumgarner on Opening Day, but the Padres have a deep roster this season, so he won't get to play every day. Any off days he does get will likely come against lefties, and he'll get his first of the year already despite going 6-for-7 with a pair of homers in the first two games of the campaign. Jake Cronenworth slides to first base in his absence, opening up second base for Ha-Seong Kim's first MLB start.

Continues big start to campaign Hosmer went 3-for-3 with a two-run home run, a walk, two total runs scored and three total RBI in a win over Arizona on Friday.

Impact Through two games, Hosmer is slashing an absurd .857/.875/1.857. That pace is obviously not sustainable, but it's a good sign that last season's bounceback performance was not a fluke. The veteran has slugged a home run in each of his first two contests this season and leads the league early on with six RBI.

Big Opening Day performance Hosmer went 3-for-4 with a double, a solo home run, one run scored and three RBI on Thursday against the Diamondbacks.

Impact Hosmer was sidelined by an illness heading into Opening Day but got off to a hot start by ripping a solo home run in the third inning. He continued to produce from there, clubbing an RBI double one frame later followed by a game-tying single in the seventh inning. Hosmer occupied his usual spot as the cleanup hitter for the team, which should provide him plenty of opportunities to drive in runs throughout the campaign.

Ready to play Monday Hosmer (illness) will start at first base and will bat third Monday in the Padres' Cactus League game against the Royals.

Impact Hosmer is back in action for the first time since Thursday after an illness kept him out for a few days. He's off to a 5-for-26 start to Cactus League play, but Hosmer's status as the Padres' everyday first baseman isn't in question.

MARCH 22, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Scratched from lineup Hosmer was scratched from Saturday's spring lineup against the Dodgers due to an illness, Kevin Acee of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.

Impact Hosmer was initially slated to play first base and bat fourth Saturday, but he was sent home by the team since he was feeling nauseous. It's not yet clear when he'll be able to return. Jake Cronenworth will shift to first base against the Dodgers, while Ha-seong Kim will play second base and bat seventh.
