Team notches another comeback for 90th win of improbable season
by San Diego Padres’ Fernando Tatis Jr. celebrates a solo home run Sunday against the White Sox at Petco Park.
These Padres are everything the 2023 version — despite stars like Juan Soto, Blake Snell, Josh Hader and the payroll-driven expectations that came with them — could not be. “We have everything,” said Donovan Solano, whose double to left began Sunday’s big inning. “We have guys who can hit, starting pitching, bullpen guys. We’re solid for the playoffs.”
And so many arrows are pointing up. The rosy rotation returns of Joe Musgrove and Yu Darvish are buoyed by Cease looking like Cease. That’s not to say the Padres cannot fall in the opening series of the playoffs. This is baseball, after all. Grow overly confident at your own risk. This will be no matter of simply beating one starter or a couple of bats as it has too often come down to in the past. There’s lots of poison to pick.Starting pitching? Darvish finished with nine strikeouts and no walks with just three hits, two of them solo home runs, in 6 1/3 innings.
