Summary
- Three consecutive batters hit home runs in the fourth inning.
- Nick Kurtz is aiming to replicate his 2025 rookie season success.
- The San Diego Padres won the Cactus League game 13-9.
Three consecutive batters in the Athletics lineup achieved a rare feat during their Cactus League matchup with the San Diego Padres on Friday. Henry Bolte, Breyson Guedez, and Nick Kurtz each homered on consecutive pitches thrown by Padres pitcher Michael King in the fourth inning.
Bolte initiated the power surge with a 401-foot, three-run blast. Guedez followed immediately with a 450-foot homer, and Kurtz completed the remarkable sequence by sending the very next pitch over the left-field wall. Though the Athletics showcased significant offensive firepower, the Padres ultimately won the game with a final score of 13-9.
Nick Kurtz, a standout player, is currently working to build upon his outstanding 2025 season. During that season, he was honored as the AL rookie of the year, recording a .290 batting average, a .383 on-base percentage, 36 home runs, and 86 RBIs in 117 games played.
