Hits another clutch homer Merrill went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run and a walk Sunday in a 9-8 extra-inning victory against Miami.
Impact One day after hitting a game-tying homer in the ninth frame, Merrill belted a big two-run shot in the eighth inning to tie the score 7-7. The rookie outfielder has been incredibly clutch for the Padres, as four of his 17 long balls have either tied the game or given San Diego the lead in the ninth inning or later. Merrill has also been very hot of late, going deep four times in his past four contests and slashing .388/.416/.776 with five home runs, 18 RBI, 18 runs and three stolen base over his past 18 games.

Clutch performance Friday Merrill went 3-for-4 with a walk, a triple, a home run, two RBI and two stolen bases in Friday's 6-2 extra-inning win over the Marlins.
Impact The 21-year-old outfielder had a huge game from a fantasy perspective, but it was also clutch for the Padres as his solo shot off George Soriano tied the game in the ninth inning and set the stage for a big 10th. Merrill has been on fire since the All-Star break, slashing .373/.395/.716 over his last 18 games with four homers, three steals, 16 RBI and 17 runs as he makes a push for the NL Rookie of the Year Award.

Merrill leads Padres against the Pirates after 4-hit outing
The San Diego Padres take on the Pittsburgh Pirates after Jackson Merrill had four hits on Wednesday in a 9-8 win over the PiratesAUGUST 8 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Slugs two homers in dramatic win Merrill went 4-for-6 with two home runs, three total runs and three total RBI in Wednesday's 9-8 extra-inning victory over Pittsburgh.
Impact Merrill put the Padres on the board with a 442-foot solo shot in the second inning. The game went back and forth from there, with the rookie outfielder adding an RBI single in the fifth but the Pirates carrying a one-run lead into the top of the ninth frame. Pittsburgh closer David Bednar attempted to hold the Padres at bay, but Merrill tied the score with a one-out solo shot to center field. For good measure, Merrill was also a participant in what turned out to be the game-winning run in the top of the 10th, as his flyout to left field resulted in Xander Bogaerts scoring on an error by Pirates catcher Yasmani Grandal. Merrill now has a trio of four-hit performances in a fantastic rookie campaign during which he's posted a .288/.318/.467 slash line, 15 homers, 59 RBI, 54 runs and 11 stolen bases through 112 contests.

He's slashing .284/.315/.449 with 53 RBI, 48 runs, 11 steals and a 17:74 BB:K in 393 plate appearances.
