On a cool evening at Oracle Park, San Diego Padres Ryan Bergert threw five impressive innings in his first major league start. The only mistake was leaving a pitch up in the strike zone to San Francisco Giants leadoff hitter Heliot Ramos in the third inning.
He proceeded to place it over the center field fence for his 11th home run of the season. Nevertheless, Bergert made a strong case to become a starting pitching option as the Padres look to deepen their rotation.
Who is Ryan Bergert?
Baseball is a crazy game, as you never know when your opportunity will occur.
