Joe Musgrove pitched six strong innings and Fernando Tatis Jr. went 0 for 4 in his first game back since June 21 as the San Diego Padres beat the Detroit Tigers 3-0 on Monday.
SAN DIEGO — Luis Arraez had two RBI singles for the Padres, who edged ahead of Arizona and into the NL's top wild card spot.Tatis was activated from the 60-day injured list after being sidelined with a stress reaction in his right thighbone. The star right fielder received loud ovations during the pregame lineup announcements and when he ran out to his defensive position to start the game, gesturing to the fans along the way.
'He's a guy that's been kind of the heart and soul of the team at times here, so missing him, we've done our best to stay above water and keep ourselves in a good position so he can get himself healthy and come back when he's ready. It's nice to have him back.”Musgrove was making his fifth start since a 2 1/2-month stay on the injured list with right elbow inflammation. He held the Tigers to three hits while striking out eight and walking two.
