Ty France went 2-for-4 with a three-run homer in leading the Padres to an 8-2 win over the Marlins on Friday.

France is now hitting .301, though he’s going to need 37 plate appearances in the Padres’ final eight games to qualify for the batting title. He’s just a little short of the leaderboard at the moment or else he’d be seventh in the majors in average and ninth with an .887 OPS.
