Padres bullpen melts in heat, as Phillies take opener of doubleheader
An oppressively hot and humid afternoon melted away in the latter innings, as too many games have for the Padres since late last month.
“We’ve talked about timing this year a bunch,” Padres manager Bob Melvin said between games. “Our timing isn’t great right now. A lot of good things happened and a lot of bad things happened.” The Padres, who failed for the fifth time to win what would have been a season-high fourth consecutive game, led 3-0 and 4-3. They held the first lead for multiple innings and the latter for a half-inning.
As happened twice in three appearances at the start of July, Martinez’s first offering to his first batter was hit over some portion of the outfield wall. This one was a 440-foot home run to center field by Kyle Schwarber.
