There won’t be a newsletter the next two days. With three games against the Dodgers beginning Friday, the Padres should get halfway to last year’s record of 26 sellouts by the end of the weekend. Last night was the 10 th sellout of the season at Petco Park.228) and his on-base percentage 49 points (to. He has raised his batting average 34 points (to. Ha-Seong Kim was 1-for-2 with two walks last night and is 7-for-20 with five walks over his past seven games.Bogaerts remains under the weather but is expected to play today. That is no longer the case, but his 30-game on-base streak is intact. He was the only player in the major leagues to have reached base in every game his team had played. Xander Bogaerts did not play for the first time this season.275 (14-for-51) in 10 games since returning from his suspension.
