Throughout some heavy drizzle, lightning in the sky, thunder rumbling through Coors Field; the Padres blew things up tonight. The bullpen held things down and the lineup capitalized on some juicy 1st and 7th innings.
After the Friars kicked things off in the top of the 1st, Bryan Mitchell got tagged for an equal amount of damage. Two two-run home runs to Nolan Arenado and Trevor Story in the bottom of the inning, then an RBI-double to Ian Desmond. Mitchell ended up with an 8 hit night in 5 1/3rd inning, giving up that total of 5 earned runs, two walks, and only striking out two.
