Three walks, one steal in loss Cronenworth went 0-for-1 with three walks and a stolen base in Wednesday's 4-3 extra-innings loss to the Twins.

Impact Cronenworth hasn't hit much lately, but he's drawn 10 walks over his last five games. While he's batting .236 on the season and has gone just 2-for-11 in that five-game sample, his .356 on-base percentage and career-best 14.2 percent walk rate for the year show why the Padres have opted to move him to second in the order for the last two games. The 29-year-old has three home runs, 14 RBI, 17 runs scored, two steals, eight doubles and two triples through 36 contests overall.

Homers twice with six RBI in rout Cronenworth went 3-for-4 with two homers along with six RBI while drawing a walk in Saturday's 10-3 win over the Brewers.

Impact Cronenworth tied the game at 2-2 in the first inning with a single off Freddy Peralta, but there was much more offensive fireworks to come from his left-handed bat. He broke a 3-3 tie in the fifth with a two-run shot off Peralta, and he swatted another two-run blast in the seventh off Hoby Milner. A walk with the bases loaded in the eighth made it 10-3 Padres and cemented the blowout. Cronenworth was struggling coming into this game, but the 29-year-old certainly helped plenty of fantasy rosters against the Brew Crew on Saturday.
