Padres' Samad Taylor: Key contributor in win

Rotowire4 days ago

Taylor went 2-for-4 with three RBI, a run scored and a stolen base in Monday's win over Cincinnati.

Analysis:

Taylor came through in the late stages of Monday's win, giving San Diego the lead on an RBI bunt single in the seventh inning before depositing a two-RBI single into left field in the eighth frame to extend the lead. The 27-year-old was called up Wednesday from Triple-A El Paso and hasn't found much success in prior major-league opportunities, but he could receive some looks in left field due to Ramon Laureano (hip) being expected to miss the remainder of the season.
