He had two hits in four at-bats and he ended up scoring one of his team&#8217;s runs.<\/p>\n<p>This was a continuation of what a strong 2025 season the Padres right fielder has been having, as he entered the night with an elite slash line of .409\/.481\/.591 in his continued quest to redeem himself from a few down years to begin the 2020s.<\/p>\n<p>The Padres will now look to continue their winning ways on Friday when they head on the road for the first time this season to face the Chicago Cubs.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Padres and Dodgers dominate proceedings to start 2025<\/strong><\/h2>\n<figure id=\"attachment_3319846\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-3319846\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-3319846\" src=\"https:\/\/wp.clutchpoints.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Jackson-Merrill-with-SD-Padres.jpg\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wp.clutchpoints.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Jackson-Merrill-with-SD-Padres.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/wp.clutchpoints.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Jackson-Merrill-with-SD-Padres.jpg?resize=300,200 300w, https:\/\/wp.clutchpoints.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Jackson-Merrill-with-SD-Padres.jpg?resize=768,512 768w, https:\/\/wp.clutchpoints.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Jackson-Merrill-with-SD-Padres.jpg?resize=1024,683 1024w, https:\/\/wp.clutchpoints.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Jackson-Merrill-with-SD-Padres.jpg?resize=150,100 150w\" alt=\"San Diego Padres center fielder Jackson Merrill (3) is congratulated after hitting a solo home run during the fourth inning against the Cleveland Guardians at Petco Park.\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-3319846\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Denis Poroy-Imagn Images<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>It&#8217;s only fitting that the Padres&#8217; 7-0 start is being matched by the Dodgers; after all, these are two sworn rivals that have bumped into each other in the playoffs.<\/p>\n<p>And for San Diego, this is a promising sign that they have kept in stride with their powerhouse division rival even though Los Angeles never seems to run out of resources.<\/p>\n<p>It won&#8217;t be until mid-June, however, that the Padres and Dodgers face for the first time this season.<\/p>\n<p>But once they do, expect there to be plenty of fireworks, considering how much talent there is on both teams.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Padres are on fire &#8212; and Fernando Tatis Jr. is loving it.
