Here's how an MLB analyst graded the Red Sox trade for Eric Hosmer Here's how ESPN baseball analyst Bradford Doolittle graded the Red Sox acquisition of Eric Hosmer with the Padres at the MLB trade deadline.
Goes yard twice Tuesday Grisham went 3-for-7 with two walks, two home runs, four runs scored and four RBI across both ends of Tuesday's doubleheader sweep of the Rockies.
Impact The 25-year-old went yard in both contests and he played hero in the nightcap, taking Alex Colome deep for a walkoff solo shot in the bottom of the ninth inning. Grisham extended his homer streak to three games and his hit streak to seven in the process, and since the beginning of July he's slashing .233/.316/.512 with seven of his 13 home runs on the year, but his slash line on the season remains a shaky .198/.294/.366.

Seven hits in twin bill Profar went 7-for-10 with two doubles, two RBI and three runs scored across both ends of Tuesday's doubleheader sweep of the Rockies.
Impact Getting the start in left field and hitting leadoff in both contests, Profar did most of his damage in the matinee, going 5-for-6 to help fuel a 13-5 rout. The Padres' additions at the deadline could eventually squeeze the 29-year-old for playing time, but Profar may be too hot to take out of the lineup right now -- he's reeled off five straight multi-hit performances, and over his last 14 games he's slashing .375/.426/.661 with four doubles, four homers, nine RBI and 12 runs.

Nabs win in Friars debut Hader (2-4) picked up the win in the second game of Tuesday's doubleheader against the Rockies, striking out one in a perfect ninth inning.
Impact Acquired from Milwaukee on Monday, Hader entered a 2-2 game and breezed through the bottom of the Colorado order before fellow ex-Brewer Trent Grisham walked it off with a solo shot. Hader had some uncharacteristic stumbles before the All-Star break, but in five appearances since he's allowed only one run in five innings with an 8:1 K:BB, and he should provide the Padres with some stability in the closer role.

Short stint in spot start Knehr didn't factor into the decision in a 3-2 win over the Rockies during the second game of Tuesday's doubleheader, allowing two runs on four hits and two walks over 3.2 innings....
Impact Making his first big-league start of the year, Knehr needed 82 pitches (48 strikes) to record only 11 outs before getting the hook, and his line could have been a lot worse as he exited with the bases loaded and two outs in the top of the fourth inning. Fortunately for the Padres, none of those runners came around to score. Knehr will likely head back to Triple-A El Paso with a 1.50 ERA, 0.75 WHIP and 8:2 K:BB through 12 MLB innings.

Fans seven in 10th win Darvish (10-4) picked up the win in the first game of Tuesday's doubleheader against the Rockies, giving up three runs on six hits and two walks over six innings in a 13-5 victory....
Impact The game wasn't as much of a laugher for Darvish as the final score suggested, as Colorado grabbed a 3-0 lead before the San Diego offense finally got rolling in the bottom of the fourth. The right-hander threw 71 of 107 pitches for strikes as he delivered his fifth straight quality start and 16th in 20 trips to the mound this season, and he'll take a 3.30 ERA, 0.99 WHIP and 127:26 K:BB through 128.1 innings into his next outing.
