The Padres didn't come away with as many runs as they should have in Wednesday's series finale against the Cardinals, but they did get enough to avoid the sweep.It was an eventful afternoon for Higashioka - who came to town as part of the Juan Soto trade to the Yankees. The veteran catcher thwarted two base-stealing attempts by the Cardinals in the fourth to limit St. Louis to one run despite three hits in the inning.
After two innings the Padres led 2-0, but had gone 0-5 with runners in scoring position and left four on base.Fortunately, Joe Musgrove had far and away his best start of the season. After allowing nine total runs over 8.1 innings his first two appearances, the Grossmont High grad posted his first quality start of 2024 - six innings, one earned run and seven strikeouts.
