Padres are not making themselves at home; inexplicable downturn against left-handed pitchers; up-and-down rotation
Good morning, A couple of the things that have routinely plagued the Padres continued to do so last night. They lost at home. They lost a game in which a left-hander started for their opponent. My game story from last night’s 8-0 loss to the Yankees detailed some of the Padres’ woes at home. They are 10-16 at Petco Park this season. As discussed in yesterday’s newsletter, the real difference between this year and previous seasons at home is the Padres’ pitchers performance at Petco Park .
Since then, Dylan Cease and Darvish have had outings in which they surrendered at least five runs in the first three innings. Every Padres starter has had at least one game in which they have allowed four or more runs while failing to finish five innings. The Padres are 4-15 in games in which their starter has given up four or more runs. Conversely, they are 23-12 when their starter gives up three runs or fewer. The Padres rank 12th in the major leagues with 20 quality starts.
