Merrill went 3-for-4 with a walk, a triple, a home run, two RBI and two stolen bases in Friday's 6-2 extra-inning win over the Marlins.

EDGE Analysis

The 21-year-old outfielder had a huge game from a fantasy perspective, but it was also clutch for the Padres as his solo shot off George Soriano tied the game in the ninth inning and set the stage for a big 10th. Merrill has been on fire since the All-Star break, slashing .373/.395/.716 over his last 18 games with four homers, three steals, 16 RBI and 17 runs as he makes a push for the NL Rookie of the Year Award.
