Did the padres hit a homer yesterday?

The San Diego Padres have not hit a home run in their last five games. In fact, they have only hit four home runs in their last 15 games. This power outage has contributed to the Padres' recent struggles, as they have gone just 4-11 in their last 15 games. The Padres have not been the only team struggling to hit home runs lately. Major League Baseball as a whole has seen a power outage in recent weeks. After setting a new single-season record for home runs in 2017, home run totals have dropped off sharply in 2018. Through the first three months of the season, home runs were down nearly 10% from last year. There are a number of theories as to why home run totals have declined this season. Some believe that the new baseballs used this season are less aerodynamic than last year's balls, making them harder to hit out of the park. Others believe that the cold weather early in the season had something to do with it. Whatever the reason, the Padres will need to start hitting more home runs if they want to get back on track. They currently sit in last place in the National League West, and their offense will need to start clicking if they are going to make a push for the playoffs.
