Padres fight back from five-run hole, but they make crucial outs at home and third base and can't get enough big hits as they again fall short of .500 record
Down big from the start, the Padres clawed and scraped and scratched back Thursday night but failed too much in the middle and faded in the end of an 8-6 loss to the Guardians at Petco Park.
But for all the uncommon fight the Padres showed, their inability to make it all the way back owed to the ongoing problem of not converting with runners in scoring position and to making the second out at home in one inning and at third base in another. Unlike so many games in which trailing early created a feeling of inevitability, the Padres chipped away Thursday.
The flameout happened in large part because the Padres were 3-for-14 with runners in scoring position.The 23-year-old left-hander threw 43 pitches in three innings Sunday, a start purposely cut short by plan of the front office. And he threw just 44 pitches in the start before that.The Padres, however, were hoping for a few more innings from Weathers. And a lot fewer runs allowed.
