Matt Kemp homers off Madison Bumgarner on Tuesday

Matt Kemp provided the Padres' lone run on Tuesday against Madison Bumgarner, with a ninth inning home run. It was Kemp's 10th home run of the season.

Fantasy Impact:

Kemp is batting just .250 with a meager .264 OBP, but he's now on pace for 42 homers and 117 RBI. The biggest concern (other than health) is the Padres' tough injury luck, which has really weakened the already below-average lineup surrounding Kemp. He should continue to be a solid source of power in the short-term, but if the Padres don't get healthy, it will be tough to see why opposing pitchers will give Kemp much to hit as the season progresses.
