Mike Clevinger throws five scoreless innings, MacKenzie Gore adds three; Robinson Cano gets first two hits with Padres
The Padres practically flaunted their abundance of starting pitching in everyone’s face Tuesday night.
While Christenson after the game backtracked slightly on his pregame statement that the plan was to go with a piggyback again Wednesday, it does seem the Padres will follow Snell with Nick Martinez. If that works out even close to as well as the Clevinger-Gore tandem did, the bulk of the bullpen would get a third straight day off, as the Padres did not play Monday.
The Padres, who had scored at least five runs in five straight games and in their previous 13 road games, won for the third time in four games. They improved to 13-6 on the road this season, a mark that’s tied for second best in the major leagues. Clevinger, who had Tommy John surgery in November 2020 and began the season on the injured list with a right knee sprain, was more far efficient Tuesday than he had been in his first two starts. He took just 75 pitches to get through five innings for the first time — after going 4 2/3 in 95 pitches in his first start and 4 1/3 in 91 pitches in his second start.“We pushed him the first two outings,” Christenson said.“Clev was awesome,” Gore said.
Alec Bohm’s line drive to left field leading off the bottom of the fourth inning was the Phillies’ only hit against Clevinger.They got their second and third hits in succession in the fifth inning, when Wil Myers poked a ball the other way through a giant hole at second base created by a shift and Robinson Cano flared a single to center field for his first hit with the Padres. The latter moved Myers to third, and he scored on a grounder by Austin Nola.
