Musgrove allows first hits, runs by a Padres staring pitcher but goes six innings; C.J. Abrams gets first MLB hit
Pitching on the one-year anniversary of his no-hitter, Joe Musgrove was merely just another really good Padres starter on Saturday night.
Three relievers and some manufactured runs in the eighth inning finished off a 5-2 victory over the Diamondbacks at Chase Field. Pierce Johnson worked a scoreless eighth, and after the first big-league singles by C.J. Abrams and Jose Azocar helped the Padres to a run in the ninth, Taylor Rogers protected the three-run lead for the second straight night for his second save.
The Padres are the only team in the major leagues with three pitchers to have gone at least six innings. The Phillies have had both their starters go six. No other team has had more than one starter last that long, and just six other teams have had one such performance. It was the first time the Diamondbacks got a hit before the seventh inning in the series. The double by David Peralta that followed gave them their first run before the ninth inning.What Darvish and Manaea did was such a rarity it took the prolific baseball statisticians some extra time to make sure of the last time it has been done.
