Up by 6 in the 4th inning, Fernando Tatis Jr. just stole third base with two outs on Ian Gibaut -- who threw behind Manny Machado last night one pitch after Tatis' 3-0 slam. Tatis is single-handedly burning the sport's unwritten rulebook. I am here for it.

You better believe Josh Bell felt it when Bob Melvin batted him cleanup in Game 1. "There’s no anxiety coming out of that man. He trusts, 1 through 9. He trusts everyone in that clubhouse. For him to trust in me there, slate me behind Machado, it definitely means a lot."

Among the Padres who raced up the 3B line in an effort to protect families and fans in that section: Tatis, Manny Machado, Wil Myers, Jurickson Profar, perhaps others. "I couldn't be any more proud to be a Padre, to be with the men in there," an emotional Jayce Tingler said.

Fernando Tatis Jr. is NL Player of the Month. Jake Cronenworth is Rookie of the Month. I'd say the middle of the Padres' infield is in decent shape.
