July 4, 2017 (Cleveland) – Happy Fourth of July! The Padres are spending Independence Day in Cleveland, starting a three-game series with the Indians, which is kind of ironic for Independence Day. Trevor Cahill started against Indians ace Corey Kluber.
A lot of close calls happened early on, but the Padres finally got through to Kluber in the fifth on a fielder’s choice. And believe it or not, that one run was enough. The Catholics declared independence from the Native Americans on the Fourth of July with a 1-0 win and a series lead.
Game two is tomorrow at 4:10 p.m. Luis Perdomo starts against Trevor Bauer for the Tribe.
