Fernando Tatis Jr. and his swagger returned to the playoffs with a blast. The 25-year-old San Diego star hit a towering two-run homer on his first playoff swing in four seasons to give the Padres a 2-0 lead against rookie AJ Smith-Shawver and the Atlanta Braves in Game 1 of their Wild Card Series.

The San Diego padres had an impressive showing in Game 1 of the Wild Card series, defeating the Atlanta Braves, 4-0. A large part of that success was because of the momentum created by star right fielder Fernando Tatis Jr.

Tatis hit a home run in the first inning to help the Padres to a 4-0 win over the Braves in Game 1 of their Wild Card Series.
