San Diego Padres closer Robert Suarez attempted to get his 16th save of the season against the Los Angeles Angels with his team leading 5-3. However he ran into trouble in the top of the ninth and by the time the inning ended, Suarez was out of the game and the Angels were ahead 9-5.
The Padres went down in order in the bottom of the ninth and what appeared to be a game that would result in a hard fought, well played win, was actually a series opening, heartbreaking loss at Petco Park, Monday.
