The San Diego Padres have won three games in a row. Can they make it four?
The Friars are coming off a scary, if not thrilling, win against the Cincinnati Reds. Carrying a two-run lead into the ninth inning, Kirby Yates nearly flopped his 39th save opportunity.
He allowed a run to score and loaded the bases, but with ice in his veins he worked his way out of the jam for his 36th save of the year and third in as many nights.
Now the Padres have a chance to win their second straight series on Tuesday against Cincinnati, but it’ll be a tall task as Sonny Gray (8-6) will look to guide the Reds to victory.
