Padres' Xander Bogaerts: Narrowly misses cycle in rout
Bogaerts went 3-for-5 with a solo homer, a triple, a double and an additional RBI in Thursday's 9-2 win over the Rockies.
Bogaerts fell a single shy of what would've been his first career cycle and the fourth in franchise history. Despite missing out on that achievement, he did become the first Padre to tally a home run and a triple in the same inning, per AJ Cassavell of MLB.com. The veteran shortstop also snapped a lengthy homer drought of 29 games. Through 581 trips to the plate this year, Bogaerts is slashing .226/.325/.336 with 12 big flies, 56 RBI, 21 stolen bases and 61 runs scored.

Padres' Michael King: Six strong innings in 12th win
King (12-9) tallied the win Thursday against the Rockies, allowing two runs on seven hits and two walks in six innings. He struck out six.
King bookended his outing in shaky fashion, yielding one run in his first and final innings of work, but it was a strong start overall. The right-hander has been a model of consistency for both the Padres and fantasy managers alike, reeling off eight consecutive quality starts and 12 in his last 14 outings. He's set to bring a workmanlike 3.03 ERA, 1.16 WHIP and 154:68 K:BB over 181 innings into his next and likely final appearance of the regular season against the Dodgers.

For the season, he's batting .256 with a .746 OPS, 25 home runs, 26 stolen bases, 83 RBI, 79 runs scored, 25 doubles and four triples over 149 contests.

He has added four steals in that span, providing a boost of speed from the lower half of the lineup.

Padres' Ethan Salas: Hits first two homers
Salas went 2-for-4 with a pair of home runs and three RBI in Wednesday's 9-3 win over the Rockies.
Salas went yard in the second and fifth innings for the first two homers of his big-league career. All three of his hits so far have gone for extra bases -- his first career knock was a triple on Sunday in San Francisco. Salas is batting .143 with seven strikeouts over his first 21 plate appearances in the majors, so he still has some adjustments to make to hold his own against big-league pitchers.

Padres' Robbie Ray: Quality start in 13th win
Ray (13-8) allowed three runs on three hits and two walks while striking out six over six innings to earn the win over the Rockies on Wednesday.
After giving up five runs in back-to-back starts to begin September, Ray responded with his 13th quality start of the season Wednesday, though he was trending even better before giving up a two-run home run to Kyle Karros in the sixth inning. The southpaw has a 3.60 ERA, 1.33 WHIP and 138:83 K:BB across 162.1 innings over 30 games (29 starts) on the year. Ray is projected to make his next start on the road versus the Dodgers.

Hays went 2-for-3 with a solo home run in Tuesday's 9-3 loss to the Rockies.

The outfielder ended an 18-game power drought when he went deep in the fifth inning. Hays is batting .270 with a .694 OPS, three homers, 12 RBI, 14 runs scored, three doubles and no stolen bases over 93 plate appearances between the Padres and the White Sox this year.
