Grand slam in seventh breaks tie; Joe Musgrove allows two runs in 6 innings
Joe Musgrove was back to being excellent. Jurickson Profar remained excellent. And Jake Cronenworth made it matter with a grand slam in the seventh inning that lifted the Padres to a 6-2 victory over the Reds on Wednesday. The victory was the Padres’ second in a row following a losing streak of five games.
While there was virtually no comparison between that performance and what Musgrove turned in Wednesday, he would not avoid his first-inning woes. After two quick outs, Musgrove hung a 2-2 curveball to Spencer Steer, who hit it barely beyond the wall in left field but far enough to put Musgrove in a tie with teammate Michael King for most homers allowed in MLB this season at 10.
