To state the obvious, things are going pretty well right now.
San Diego starter Nick Martinez was solid on the mound. The right-hander tossed 5.0 innings and allowed two runs with five strikeouts and got his first win in the Major Leagues since 2017 .
Just like they did the first two games of the series, the Padres got one big inning to take a lead they weren't going to give up. In the 6th inning, trailing 2-1,they loaded the bases and Jorge Alfaro hit a sacrifice fly to right to score score Machado and tie it 2-2. C.J. Abrams was hit by a pitch to re-load the bags and Ha-Seong Kim ripped a line drive to left field. Former Padre Tommy Pham made an awkward dive-type thing in the ball's general direction and whiffed completely. The ball rolled to the wall for a bases-clearing double.
Alfaro got himself another RBi without a base hit when he walked with the bases loaded in the 7th inning and Machado drove in San Diego's final run of the day with a single in the 8th. The Friars have played 14 games against teams with losing records and are 10-4 in those contests and can keep padding their record this weekend when they start a 3-game series in Pittsburgh on Friday afternoon. The Pirates are 8-11 and the Friars get Opening Day starter Yu Darvish on the mound.
