SAN DIEGO, Calif. --The San Diego Padres (56-54) got their offense going again on Friday night with a 7-0 victory over the San Francisco Giants (47-63).
Friday was an interesting day for Padres left fielder Jase Bowen, who said he dreamt he would hit a home run. He told his wife, "Wouldn't that be cool if it happened?"
He then headed to Petco Park for the second game of a four-game series against the Giants.
Before the game, Bowen decided to take the sliding glove out of his back pocket and instead placed a small Jesus Christ figurine, given to him by a fan in El Paso, in its place.
When he came to the plate in the fourth inning, Bowen crushed a slider to deep left field for his first career home run, extending the Padres' lead to 4-0. As he rounded third base, Fernando Tatis Jr., who was due up next, was already celebrating. When Bowen returned to the dugout, he was greeted with congratulations from his teammates.
