“Man, it was another good performance against us,” Guardians manager Stephen Vogt said after Michael King allowed two hits and just one run in the Padres’ 2-1 victory yesterday afternoon.“I think it’s a good indicator of what we’re capable of,” catcher Kyle Higashioka said. “Baseball, though, is a sport about consistency. We’ve got to find that consistency going through the end of the year in order to make a playoff push — to make the playoffs and go far.
The reality is that since Adam Mazur’s last start on July 3, which was followed by him being optioned to Triple-A, Padres starters have posted a 1.84 ERA in seven starts. Take out that Mazur start and go back 11 starts by the other four Padres starters, and they have a 2.36 ERA in that span. Then they won the past two days to get back to two games above .500 and into a three-way tie with the Mets and Diamondbacks for the final National League wild-card spot.
Donovan Solano has started just two of the past six games after starting 16 in a row. And that is just part of the positional musical chairs. Jake Cronenworth, who moved from first base to second while Bogaerts was out, is back at first . Luis Arraez, who started almost exclusively at first base while Bogaerts was sidelined, is still there but has also been relegated to DH twice.
