The first week of the season was a hootenanny, with all the 100-proof moonshine and fistfights.
The second week was the morning-after headache and black eye.
The Padres on Friday began their third week of baseball, after their first day off in this truncated tempest of a season.
“For all the guys, it was a chance to recharge, hit the reset button, get ready for … 17 ahead of us in 17 nights,” manager Jayce Tingler said. “It was a well-needed off day.”
This season is flying by.
Friday night’s game certainly did, thanks to Zach Davies retiring the first 13 Diamondbacks he faced and the Padres getting all their runs on homers by the batter leading off in three innings.
