Ryan Weathers records five outs, allows five runs; Padres manage five hits
That doesn’t take everyone else off the hook for what happened — and, moreover, for what had virtually no chance of happening — in a 7-1 loss to the Cubs at Petco Park.
What such a deficit does, however, is shine a light on the inability of the Padres’ offense to mount a comeback because of the regular inability of the Padres’ offense to even score.A major league team has won after trailing by five runs just 15 times this season. A team has won after trailing by seven run lead just once in 2023.The Padres just don’t respond very well to being down.
As for Weathers, the relatively few strikes he threw were essentially in the middle of the strike zone, and he went from having some hard luck in the first inning to simply getting hit hard in the second.
