The Padres bullpen had to work hard for the win on Wednesday, and our MLB expert believes that Martin Perez will be asked to help preserve the relief corps as he takes the mound vs. the Detroit Tigers tonight.
The San Diego Padres pulled off an impressive comeback win over the Detroit Tigers on Wednesday night, erasing an early 5-0 deficit en route to a 6-5 victory.
The Padres used seven different relief pitchers, six of whom threw at least 16 pitches. Padres manager Mike Shildt will no doubt be hoping to better preserve his bullpen against the Although the Tigers have been better of late, they haven’t fared well against lefties this year. They sit 24th in OPS and 27th in home runs, and have hit just .237 on the season — not great.
San Diego has given Perez rope to chew up innings, as he’s averaging 87 pitches per start this year. I’d expect the leash to be even longer coming off a game where the team had to use eight different arms.Along with backing Perez to pitch into the sixth inning, I like the idea of getting behind one of the best contact hitters in the sport and fading a mediocre pitcher who just returned to the rotation.averages 1.3 hits per game and has picked up at least one hit in 75% of his games this season.
