Musgrove allowed just one hit in seven innings as the Padres evened a critical 4-game series with the Mets.
SAN DIEGO — Joe Musgrove allowed just one hit in seven brilliant innings and made a terrific defensive play to lead the San Diego Padres to a 7-0 win against the New York Mets on Friday night that evened a four-game series between teams in playoff contention.Musgrove faced just one over the minimum as he matched his season high with nine strikeouts and walked none. It was his third start back after missing 2 1/2 months with right elbow inflammation.
' Part of me was thinking he's going to go after the ball and let me have the bag. As soon as it got past me there was a little bit of hesitation whether I should cut to the bag or keep following the ball. I glanced and saw him at the bag so instinct took over at that point. I've always felt I'm pretty good at handling my position and that was one of my funner plays.'Musgrove said he planned to glove-flip it once it got past him.
