San Diego Padres manager Mike Shildt sums up Joe Musgrove's performance on Friday as a 'masterpiece.'
Joe Musgrove allowed just one hit across seven innings in a 7-0 shutout win over the New York Mets. Musgrove struck out nine while allowing zero walks or earned runs in what was deemed a "masterpiece" start by Padres manager Mike Shildt.. “Wow. That was imparting your will. He was just in control the whole way.”
Memories of early season woes have begun fading as Musgrove put in his third straight strong start for the Padres. Since coming back this month from the IL, Musgrove has given up just six hits, one earned run, no home runs, and three walks while striking out 16. Musgrove struggled out of the gate this season. In his first start of the season against the Los Angeles Dodgers in Seoul, South Korea, Musgrove gave up seven hits and five earned runs over just 2.2 innings. The following game, Musgrove allowed eight hits and four earned runs across 5.2 innings.
Across three starts in May, Musgrove gave up 13 hits and four earned runs with 17 strikeouts over 14.1 innings pitched. He posted a 2.51 ERA for those three starts, before going on the IL at the start of June.
