Salas's Two-Homer Night Sends Padres Past Rockies, Making History

Twenty-year-old catcher Ethan Salas became the youngest catcher to hit two home runs in a game since 1900, delivering a two-run shot and another homer as the Padres routed the Rockies 9-3 at Coors Field. Salas also hit a leadoff triple earlier and was involved in a pivotal umpire challenge that helped ignite the Padres’ offense; San Diego’s win moved them 3.5 games up on the Diamondbacks in the NL playoff race, with Robbie Ray delivering a strong start to help seal the win.

Braves Ride Power at Coors to a Three-Game Sweep of the Rockies

Atlanta’s offense erupted at altitude to sweep Colorado 8-6, 9-1 and 11-6, scoring 28 runs with seven homers. Mauricio Dubón lined a bases-clearing triple in the opener, Michael Harris II delivered a clutch pinch-hit homer late, and Jonah Heim drove in five in the finale while Chris Sale spun seven strong innings in another win. Ronald Acuña Jr. left with a strained hamstring, but Atlanta still holds an historic 35-game start — the best since 1892 — as they head to Seattle for the next test.

Week 1 Fantasy Baseball: Start These Hitters, Avoid These Matchups

For Week 1 (3/30–4/5), target Phillies, Braves, and Blue Jays hitters given favorable early matchups (e.g., Phillies at Coors Field; strong opposing rotations), while steering clear of Guardians, Angels, and Nationals mid‑tier bats due to tougher rotations. Consider J.T. Realmuto as a potential catcher streamer, and in deeper leagues, Mike Yastrzemski in a platoon and Nathan Lukes for Jays may offer late value.
