San Diego Padres star Fernando Tatis Jr finally broke his 55-game home run drought, the second-longest for a player who hits 40 or more home runs in a season. On May 30, 2026, Tatis hit a solo home run off Washington Nationals pitcher Foster Griffin, traveling 451 feet. This homer came after a streak of 207 at-bats without a home run, a period that began after his last homer on September 27 against the Arizona Diamondbacks. Despite the milestone, the Padres lost to the Nationals 9-4. Tatis, a three-time All-Star, is currently batting .271 with a .670 OPS, including six doubles, a triple, and now one home run. His teammate Xander Bogaerts noted that the home run would relieve some of the pressure Tatis felt, allowing him to sleep better. The long-awaited home run received enthusiastic cheers from the crowd and provided a notable highlight in an otherwise challenging season start for the star player.
