Padres right-hander has a 1.30 ERA in five starts since returning from the injured list
San Diego Padres starting pitcher Joe Musgrove reacts after a strikeout against the Detroit Tigers during the sixth inning at Petco Park on Monday, Sept. 2, 2024 in San Diego, CA. The 31-year-old veteran strung together a third straight quality start on Monday, leading the Padres to a 3-0 win over the Detroit Tigers to sturdy their playoff positioning.
A lineup that welcomed Fernando Tatis Jr. back for the first time since June 21 left Musgrove little margin for error.Musgrove struck out eight and scattered three hits and two walks while throwing 61 of his 94 pitches for strikes. He has allowed three earned runs in 19 innings during this string of three straight quality starts and has a 1.30 ERA in five starts since missing more than two months with elbow trouble.
The Padres’ lineup managed little against a planned bullpen game that began with left-hander Tyler Holton throwing two shutout innings.With one out, Mason McCoy tapped a ball to the third base side of the mound and Hanifee’s hurried throw to first got away from Spencer Torkelson, allowing the Padres’ de facto shortstop to scoot into second base.
