Padres can't come through when they have a chance early, watch as Brewers do so against Yu Davrish; season-high 17 strikeouts part of the carnage
To the flaming pile of definitive moments in a Padres season reeking with the stench of underachievement, the third inning of Friday night’s loss to the Brewers was added.
“I mean, we’re kind of past that now,” Melvin replied. “We’re gonna have to have a good record along the way. We know what’s ahead of us. There’s certainly a finish line in sight right now, and you kind of have a little better idea what you have to do.”A 7-3 loss at American Family Field meant they could be seven games out of the National League’s final playoff spot by the time Friday’s slate of games was complete.
Friday was the eighth time in those 17 games the Padres were hitless with runners in scoring position. And how they achieved their 0-for-6 in this game represented what may have been a new low in feebleness — striking out five times and grounding into a double play.Their only run against Brewers starting pitcher Brandon Woodruff came on Manny Machado’s solo home run leading off the fourth inning.
But all that came of the rally was pushing Woodruff to 29 pitches in the inning, as Juan Soto grounded into an inning-ending double play. Brice Turang led off with a single up the middle, and Tyrone Taylor held his ground to get hit on the arm by a split-finger fastball. Both runners moved up on Christian Yelich’s groundout to the right side before William Contreras grounded an RBI single to right field. After a Carlos Santana pop-up, Willy Adames reached outside the zone to slap a single into center field and push the lead to 2-0.It was Tellez’s fourth home run against the Padres this season.
