Alright, everyone still breathing? Good.
Despite an early scare, courtesy of an injury sustained by RHP Chris Paddack, the Padres drubbed the Giants 6-1 last night. Paddack sprained his ankle sometime in the first inning as he diced up the first 3 batters he faced in order, including striking out the Giants’ two best hitters, Mike Yastrzemski and Donovan Solano. Paddack then retreated to the trainers room, getting his ankle taped up by the team’s training staff. He had plenty of time to do so, because the Padres broke out the heavy lumber early (more on that in a sec).
