Six runs in a span of six batters in the fourth inning and a solo homer in the sixth inning are enough to make Padres’ comeback attempt moot
Padres starting pitcher Joe Musgrove walks off the mound after a six-run fourth inning Sunay against the Giants. Joe Musgrove was dominant for three innings plus an out. And really, dominant might not be a strong enough word.
What would have been the Padres’ second-biggest comeback win of the season and their MLB-leading fifth comeback from down five or more runs was not to be, as Walker retired the Padres’ 1-2-3 hitters in order in the ninth inning. The Padres have 17 games remaining. However the rest of the season unfolds, it is a safe assumption that no game will unravel quite like Sunday’s did.
All the way to the fourth inning, which began with him striking out Giants lead-off batter Grant McCray. To that point, Musgrove had not thrown more than two balls to a batter and the Giants had not put a hard-hit ball in play.
