Two solo shots in loss Tatis went 3-for-4 with two solo home runs in Saturday's 3-2 loss to the Diamondbacks.

Impact Tatis went yard in the first and eighth innings Saturday, but he had three of the Padres' seven hits, and that lack of supporting offense cost them the game.

He's gone 9-for-24 during a six-game hitting streak, which has seen him hit five of his NL-leading seven homers.
