On a day when the Padres badly needed a savior, he sauntered up in a white suit instead of saddling up on a white steed. He didn’t hit. He didn’t pitch. He didn’t swipe a base or a make a lunging stop.
No matter.
The man who brought down a swarm of bees during a 28-minute, third-inning delay Sunday single-handedly reclaimed Petco Park and saved baseball — though mostly for the Marlins, who stung the Padres 9-3.
Someone texted the observation that outfielder Hunter Renfroe appeared the most unafraid on TV.
“Yeah, no doubt,” Renfroe, who hit a pair of homers and drove in all three runs, said in confident agreement.
