    Tatis struck out in his second at-bat in the third inning Saturday, then drew a walk and came around to score on Ha-Seong Kim‘s two-run single in the sixth. He lined out to center in the seventh.

    Tatis was hitless in his first seven at-bats in his return before a line drive single on Friday night. He followed that on Saturday by driving an 0-2 fastball into the stands, just out of the reach of a leaping Lourdes Gurriel Jr.

    Tatis led the National League with 42 homers in 2021.
