EDGE Analysis

Cronenworth entered this four-game series in Colorado with a 17-game homer drought. He's gone 5-for-11 with two long balls in his last three contests. The second baseman still hasn't hit safely in more than two straight games since his eight-game hitting streak ended June 21.

EDGE Analysis

Cronenworth had four hits in his last nine games to begin July, so this was an encouraging showing. He hadn't homered since June 20, picking up only three extra-base hits (all doubles) prior to his long ball Monday. The infielder is up to eight homers, 45 RBI, 54 runs scored and a stolen base while slashing .241/.334/.389 through 86 contests this year. Despite his recent batting struggles, Cronenworth has maintained a place in the upper third of the Padres' order.

EDGE Analysis

Cronenworth has most commonly hit out of the No. 2 spot in the order this season, but he's made six of his previous seven starts out of the three hole and looks to have settled into that position in the lineup for now. The 27-year-old has endured a bit of a rough patch over the past two weeks, having slashed .156/.269/.200 over his last 12 games. Cronenworth is still holding down a palatable .727 OPS for the season in spite of the slump and doesn't look to be in any danger of losing out on playing time.

EDGE Analysis

The second baseman has hit safely in eight straight games, going 17-for-32 (.531) with a homer and six doubles in that span. The 28-year-old is slashing .259/.349/.422 with seven long balls, 41 RBI, 43 runs scored and 18 doubles through 68 contests overall. He hit third in Monday's contest with Manny Machado (ankle) out, but Cronenworth has typically batted second for much of June.

Cronenworth went 3-for-6 with two doubles, two runs and two RBI in the Padres' 19-5 win over the Cubs on Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

He entered the series maintaining a .221 batting average for the season, but his 9-for-14 start to the week has lifted that mark to .245.
