September 19, 2017 (San Diego) – The Padres are mathematically eliminated from playoff contention, which means they can act like 10-year-old Little Leaguers and have fun playing baseball. Overly paranoid baseball moms everywhere can relax. That’s probably why they’re winning more, by the way, as they won 4-2 last night over the Diamondbacks. Zack Godley started tonight’s game two for the Dbacks against Travis Wood.
The Dbacks struck first with A.J. Pollock’s home run in the first for a 1-0 lead.
That made the Padres mad. At the wrong time of year, of course, but mad nonetheless. Wil Myers evened it up in the home half of the first with a single that scored Manuel Margot. Yangervis Solarte hit a sac fly to score Carlos Asuaje to give the Padres the 2-1 lead.
Solarte added another on a single that scored Myers in the third. And then Wood…scored? He hit a two-run RBI single to make it 5-1 Pads.
Pollock hit another solo homer in the sixth, but Asuaje answered with an RBI single in the Padres’ half that scored Margot and the Padres cruised to a 6-2 win to take the series.
Tomorrow’s game three isn’t a Wednesday matinee; it’ll be at 6:10 p.m. Robbie Ray starts for the Dbacks against Dinelson Lamet.
