The San Diego Padres bullpen has been unhittable in the season’s first month. Robert Suarez, Jason Adam, Jeremiah Estrada, Adrian Morejon, Wandy Peralta, and Alek Jacob combined to shut down opponents nightly. It is impressive how this unit offers the Padres a chance to win despite their hitting struggles.
Easily, the Friars pen is the team’s April MVP. Who could argue? The unit is ranked No.1 among all major league bullpens in ERA (1.63), home runs allowed (7), earned runs (19), and WHIP (0.97).
