The top of the fifth brings Oliveras to the plate. The Padres are up 3-0. Three runs seem like nothing in Oracle park though. This was witnessed by anyone who watched last nights Padres Giants game. Oliveras K’s to give 8 strikeouts to Gausman, who actually looked quite good, even though he leaves on the […]

Padres eek out a single against Cueto who has had something of a return to form early in the 2020 season. He has historically been hard to hit because of his awkward stuttering delivery. Nevertheless Machado goes to the third baseman with an infield hit that can’t quite be executed for an out. The Padres […]
Grisham smacks a home run out in the bottom of the first, to give the Padres some run support early. This will be the biggest test so far, in a season that has seen the Padres only 2 runs away from a 3-0 start. The Biggest test, because, even if Lucchesi looked good last week, […]

Yes, he’s using pitches less efficiently, but he does end the top if the inning with 2K’s. Padres, again, seeing consistency from Pham, and doing well with 2 outs. Hosmer up again with men on […]

That and a bad throw was the extent of anything he did wrong. As a Padres fan, I was most impressed […]
