SAN DIEGO >> Kenta Maeda struck out in his first major league at-bat Wednesday against the Padres. In his second at-bat, he did this.
The home run traveled an estimated 352 feet (358 per MLB’s Statcast tool), and it established a couple firsts. It was the first hit of Maeda’s major league career and, remarkably, the first home run by any player on either team in the series.
The San Diego Padres still haven’t scored this season through four innings of their third game.
