FriarWatch: September 1 Edition
Cincinnati, Ohio - August 31: San Diego Padres ace Brady Singer surrendered six consecutive hits in the fourth inning, but managed to record an out on a bunt pop out to set the tone for a commanding series opener against the Cincinnati Reds. The Padres scored five runs in total, with four of them coming in the fourth inning. Starting pitcher Nick Lodolo, who has struggled with a recurring blister on his throwing hand, threw six scoreless innings in his return from the injured list.
Cincinnati's Michael King went six innings without allowing a run, before Kyle Hart and Wandy Peralta sealed the deal. Padres manager Craig Stammen promoted 20-year-old prospect Ethan Salas, who could make his MLB debut as the designated hitter for today's game. The Padres' left fielder, Fernando Tatis Jr., had another strong performance, going 2-for-5 with an RBI.
