Padres see recent success as sign they are on right path; Padres new bullpen is certainly getting used; Tyler Wade comes back to score winning run again
Tyler Wade is congratulated after scoring what stood as the winning run in the 10th inning Saturday against the Marlins. They have won 16 of their past 18 games.Nor would it be all that momentous to complete the first 6-0 road trip in team history today.“We expect to win every day we show up,” manager Mike Shildt said before yesterday’s game.
Yesterday, he became the first player in MLB history to hit four game-tying home runs in the eighth inning or later in a span of 12 days. Well, actually, he became the first player to have ever hit that many in a span of 50 days or less. It’s nice that they could use their closer to face the middle of the opponents’ lineup on the road in the ninth inning of a tie game yesterday. And then, after Robert Suarez shut down the Marlins and the Padres scored in the top of the 10th, the Padres were able to bring in Tanner Scott, who was an All-Star for the Marlins last month before being traded to San Diego, to close out the 10th.
Scott has pitched three of the past four days. Should Suarez be needed today, that would be three in four for him. The bullpen as a whole has worked 25 innings in the five games on this trip.And I am tweaking it a little each day, because the Padres seem to be doing something a little different and interesting each day.While the Padres have gone 16-3 since the All-Star break, the Diamondbacks have gone 16-5. The Giants have gone 14-8. Those are the three best records in baseball.
