In major league history, a catcher has won the batting title only seven times ( Bubbles Hargrave in 1926, Ernie Lombardi in 1938 and 1942, Buster Posey in 2012 and Joe Mauer in 2006, 2008 and 2009.) All the foul balls you take off your body also take a tremendous toll.

Freddie Freeman homered in back-to-back innings, rookie Dalton Rushing hit a tiebreaking three-run homer in the seventh and the Los Angeles Dodgers evened the NL West race once again with an 8-2 victory over the San Diego Padres.

After a Dodgers sweep in L.A., it was the Padres' turn to make gains, as they took two of three at Petco to briefly pull ahead in the division – and rise up to No. 6 in USA TODAY Sports' power rankings.
