The bottom third of the Padres' lineup is doing a lot of heavy lifting through the first five games of 2021
are riding a four-game winning streak into Tuesday’s game at Oracle Park , a run powered in large part by the lower-third of the lineup doing much of the heavy lifting..283 avg. / .361 OBP /.491 SLG
Generally speaking, that means the Padres are still waiting for Manny Machado , Jake Cronenworth , Trent Grisham and Wil Myers to lock in, while Eric Hosmer and Jurickson Profar are off to strong starts. As far as Hosmer is concerned, the first month of the season has been generally kind to him in San Diego as he posted an .848 OPS in April 2018, a .750 OPS in April 2019 and an .844 OPS in April 2021.
Hosmer also hit .302/.356/.583 in his first 25 games in the COVID-19-shortened season in 2020, which occurred through the end of July through the end of August.Meantime, Profar’s strong start runs counter to his career trend as he has a career .614 OPS, the worst of any month of his career. He has never had an OPS better than .700 in the first month of the season, including .697 OPS he posted through August 2020.
Hosmer is hitting sixth on Tuesday, while Profar is giving way for Matt Beaty’s second start in left field. The 28-year-old Beaty was 1-for-4 in his lone start in Arizona.
