Others’ pain, Padres’ gain
Fans cheer as fireworks go off on the field before the Padres play the Braves during Game 1 of the National League Wild-Card Series at Petco Park on Tuesday, Oct. 1, 2024 in San Diego, CA. A ghoulish truth: the Padres’ 2024 World Series pursuit has been helped by injuries that have pounded their National League rivals since spring training.
Sales outpitched the Padres’ Randy Vásquez, Riley’s web gem prevented two runs, and Albies raked a left-handed double. Ace Brandon Woodruff did not pitch this season after undergoing shoulder surgery. Fellow starters Wade Miley and Robert Gasser both underwent Tommy John surgery. And Christian Yelich, the Brewers’ best hitter, hasn’t played since July because of a back issue that retired surgery.
Obtained for a teenage pitcher who seemed to contract Steve Blass disease after joining the Pirates’ farm system, Perez recorded a 2.61 ERA and 48.1 innings in six starts before the meaningless 162nd game.
