Merrill certainly wasted no time getting into Sunday’s game, too, jumping on Seth Lugo’s first-pitch sinker in the first inning and driving it to center fielder Kyle Isbel on a 105 mph line, some 373 feet from the plate.

Padres star Jackson Merrill returned to the lineup Sunday. Merrill suffered a head injury in a game against Arizona earlier in June.
