San Diego Padres rookie outfielder Jackson Merrill (21) adjusts smoothly to the falling baseball.Merri..

He was a little disappointed on defense, but he showed enough production to make up for it at the plate.

He looks calm, not like a newbie. In an interview after the first game, he said, “It's just a baseball game” and expressed his feelings about fall baseball. “When I look back, it’s just a baseball game. It’s not crazy,” he continued.

Of the game, he said: “I don’t think I saw a lot of hits in the at-bats. Maybe there were only about two good balls to hit. Once he realized that, he focused on getting on base instead of slowing himself down.” In particular, it was a battle between Kopek and whether he got into the zone or not, but he had an uphill battle ’til I got a walk,” he said.

It was his first postseason away game since his major league debut. If you played to the cheers of the audience at home, here you played to boos that rained down heavily.

When asked how he felt about it, he said: “To be honest, in the middle of the game I asked myself, 'How am I coping?' “I wasn't really aware of the crowd cheering, of course, but I wasn't aware of it at all,” he said of his coping style.

In addition, he did not forget to say: “Our spectators in the home stadium are also screaming loudly.”
