Samad Taylor knocked in three runs with a pair of singles, one of them a bunt, as the Padres topped the Reds 6-2 on Monday.

Taylor also swiped his first bag in his third game since being called up Wednesday. In another timeline, Taylor is a well-established MLB bench player thanks to his speed, versatility and modest on-base skills. It hasn’t worked out in this one, but as lacking as the Padres are at the moment, maybe he’ll play enough to offer some NL-only value.
