San Diego Padres fall to Cincinnati Reds on Quantrill’s lone mistake

The San Diego Padres snatched defeat from the jaws of victory again Tuesday evening, but this time it was just a stroke of bad luck.

The Padres lost to the Cincinnati Reds at Great American Ball Park following starting pitcher Cal Quantrill giving up a two-run home run to Freddy Galvis. That name should sound familiar; Galvis was a Padre last season, but signed with the Toronto Blue Jays in free agency.

The Blue Jays waived him this month and Galvis was picked up by the Reds just over a week ago, on Aug. 12.
