Chase Headley swatted a pair of home runs - one of which proved to be the game-winner - in Friday's 6-5 win over the Diamondbacks.
Headley took Tyler Skaggs deep for a three-run bomb in the third before untying a 5-5 game with an eighth-inning solo shot off David Hernandez. The two-homer night was his third of the season, and gives him 26 bombs on the year. That's 14 more than he had ever hit in one campaign heading into 2012. It's looking more and more like the Padres made the right call in holding onto their .287/.370/.488 hitting third baseman at the trade deadline.
