Given the fact Joe Musgrove gave the Padres bullpen the night off on Friday, manager Jayce Tingler was working with a loaded group of relievers Saturday. That fact, paired with a rocky second inning, led to a quick hook for right-hander Chris Paddack.
The team’s 2020 Opening Day starter failed to work deep into the game once again – although Tingler certainly made it sound like the rested bullpen played a big part in that decision. But through two starts, Paddack has totaled just eight innings of work, allowing five earned runs while striking out six and walking four.
