Lúzardo lasted three batters into the sixth. Gary Sánchez, who was claimed off waivers Monday and started the past two games at catcher before serving as designated hitter on Thursday, led off the fifth with his second homer in two games. That allowed Tatis to easily score on Brandon Dixon’s sacrifice fly to center field. Juan Soto followed by taking a 99 mph fastball off his left forearm before Bogaerts grounded out to the right side, moving both runners up. Ha-Seong Kim led off the fourth inning with a double that hit high off the wall in left field and scored on Tatis Jr.’s ground-rule double that hopped the wall in right-center field. Musgrove would retire the next eight batters he faced. Luis Arraez then lofted a fly ball to left field for the first out, scoring Davis. 9 hitter Joey Wendle, Davis stole second and went to third when catcher Austin Nola bounced a throw into center field.

And in between the free passes to No.8 hitter Jonathan Davis and No. Just before the game turned, Musgrove lost the strike zone for a bit, walking the first two batters he faced in the third.

That’s what happened Thursday as the Padres won their second series in the three they played on this trip. “(But) once the doors open, hopefully it’s a floodgate.” “Again, we have to sustain it,” manager Bob Melvin said. They also scored three or fewer runs and had four or fewer hits in three of those 10 games. They have scored at least seven runs in six of their past 10 games and had at least nine hits in five of those. The Padres continue to be a study in extremes. “We started scoring some runs, string in some longer innings,” Xander Bogaerts said. They were 6-for-14 with runners in scoring position Thursday, two days after going 6-for-16.

184 with runners in scoring position and nine games later are at. The Padres have still yet to show any real consistency, but the past week-and-a-half stretch has undoubtedly seen improvement. Our offense is starting to swing the bat well, we’re getting guys on base, we’re driving them in now. And then some big runs in that fourth inning, and then added a few more and then the real long one in the (sixth). Just get the ball and get going, which is kind of nice as a starter to get that rhythm at the start of the game. Really quick, like 10-pitch innings on both sides. “Quick couple innings on both sides of the ball,” said Musgrove, who allowed three singles in the sixth inning, which was his last of the day. Musgrove was matched at the beginning by Marlins starter Jesus Lúzardo, who struck out five of the first six batters he faced and didn’t allow a baserunner in the first three innings.īoth pitchers took just 40 pitches to get through three innings.
