Padres get seven good innings from Clevinger, Martinez; Azocar, Mazara to fill in for Myers, who is likely headed for knee scope
He was one of two starters to throw 200 innings and one of four to throw at least 175 innings in 2018. He was there for Corey Kluber’s Cy Young season in 2017 and half of Shane Bieber’s Cy Young campaign in 2020.
He is proud of what that group, that also included Carlos Carrasco and Trevor Bauer for a time, did in those years.“I’ve never been a part of anything this deep,” he said. “I mean, we have seven guys that could potentially do that on a good year. I’m obviously biased, but I don’t think you could look anywhere in the league and see that.
But Clevinger and Nick Martinez did, in effect, combine for a quality start in the Padres’ 6-4 victory over the Brewers. Clevinger started and allowed a home run to Kolten Wong, the first batter he faced, before getting through three innings without giving up another hit. Martinez came in and pitched four scoreless innings before allowing a two-run homer to Wong, the final batter he faced, in the eighth inning.As Clevinger alluded to, the Padres have seven starting pitchers. They plan, for at least the next couple weeks at least, to use a six-man rotation.
Padres starters have thrown the most innings , have the fourth-lowest ERA and have yielded the fourth-lowest WHIP and thrown five more quality starts than any other rotation in the major leagues.
