Yonder Alonso went 2-for-4 and hit his second homer of the year Friday as the Padres trounced the Cubs 11-1. Alonso has two homers and two RBI over the last 10 days, so while he's still not hitting for average yet, the power gives the Padres at least a little reason for optimism. Right now, he's still at a dreadful .198/.238/.302 in 162 at-bats for the year.
