Mike Clevinger gives up first-inning homer, last just 2 2/3 innings in Padres 5-3 loss to the Dodgers in Game 1 of NLDS
Mike Clevinger hadn’t pitched since Oct. 1. Given the illness that sent him to the injured list just before the end of the season, the right knee issue he’d been pitching through and whatever else that’s come up as he’s made his way back from a second Tommy John surgery, he hoped the extra time off would help him through Game 1 of the NLDS on Tuesday night.
Trea Turner led off the third with a double. Smith doubled him in with one out, Muncy walked and Lux’s two-out double chased Clevinger from the game and opened up a 4-0 lead. Clevinger struck out three, walked two and allowed six hits in what was supposed to be the mulligan for his abbreviated attempt to pitch the Padres past the Dodgers in the 2020 NLDS.
As amped as he was to finally help the Padres in a postseason game, the 31-year-old knew things weren’t in the same place they’d been in his last start.
