Padres drop rubber match in extra innings
Jake Roth-USA TODAY SportsThe Padres went back to the bullpen game strategy Wednesday night against the Dodgers. Trey Wingenter took the mound hoping to win the series.
It wasn’t meant to be on this night.
An Eric Hosmer RBI single as well as a Hunter Renfroe Sac Fly gave the boys a 2-0 lead in the 1st. The Dodgers would strike right back, tagging Wingenter for 3 runs in the 2nd. Kentqa Maeda’s 2 run single did the damage before Wingenter yielded to Luis Perdomo.
It was all quiet on the Petco front until the 8th inning. Perdomo, Strahm and Baez combined for 5 shutout innings. Craig Stammen would give up an RBI single in the 8th to extend the Dodger lead to 4-2.
