The Padres won their 7th straight game behind Michael King's strong start and Manny Machado's home run in Baltimore.
The Padres post-All-Star break road trip took them through Cleveland, Washington and Baltimore. The Guardians had the best home record in baseball, the Nationals were looking for revenge for a sweep at Petco Park, and the Orioles have the 3rd-best record in the game.
Starting pitcher Michael King set the tone for the afternoon, despite giving everyone a scare in the 1st inning. Leadoff hitter Gunnar Henderson hit a rocket back up the middle, a 109 MPH liner that struck King in the calf. He calmly picked it up and threw to first base for the out before being checked on by team medical personnel. He said he was OK.
Henderson is a fantastic young player. He might win an MVP some day. This outing will not go on his career highlight reel.In the 2nd inning Kyle Higashioka hit a routine popup to the left side of the infield. Henderson settled under it. Problem is, so did 3rd baseman Ramon Urias. They bumped into each other and the ball fell harmlessly to the ground, allowing two runs to score for a 2-0 Padres lead. Henderson was given the error, a ruling that is up for debate.
