Jackson Merrill is not terribly interested in talking about Rookie of the Year voting. In fact, it seems like being asked about it kind of annoys him.
San Diego did not have a pair of likely All-Stars in the lineup. Fernando Tatis Jr. or Jurickson Profar both got a day off. But, the Friars have a lot more depth in the batting order than most people realized. In the 4th inning they showed off an ability to string hits together for a big inning, something this franchise has not done well in recent years.Donovan Solano, batting 2nd in place of Tatis Jr., led off with a single.
Ha-Seong Kim also blasted a solo homer in the 4th inning to put the Friars on top 4-0, giving starting pitcher Randy Vasquez a nice little cushion. Vasquez was solid if not spectacular, which was good enough to get a win.The right-hander tossed five innings of shutout ball, allowing five hits and walking three. He got some help erasing a few of those baserunners from his defense.
