Rookie Jackson Merrill hits a 440-foot, 3-run homer in the Padres' 6-4 win over the Brewers

Rookie Jackson Merrill hit a 440-foot, three-run homer to the base of the batter's eye in center field and had a bat flip to match as the San Diego Padres beat the NL Central-leading Milwaukee Brewers 6-4 Saturday for their fourth straight win. Ha-Seong Kim and Kyle Higashioka also homered for the Padres, who popped back above .500 and will go for a four-game sweep on Sunday. The Padres were cruising toward a shutout when Jhony Brito loaded the bases with two outs in the ninth on two singles and a walk, and then allowed Brice Turang's grand slam to left. Robert Suarez came on to get the final out for his 19th save.
