Joe Musgrove throws six scoreless innings; Padres add to wild-card lead by shutting out Giants for second straight game
Six days after one of the worst starts of his career — which went bad in a matter of a few minutes — Musgrove threw six scoreless innings in a rematch against the Giants on Saturday. And the Padres’ offense methodically added on to an early lead en route to an 8-0 victory at Oracle Park.
As the offense came up empty on multiple opportunities to make the game less tense early on, Musgrove made it moot. “I have some idea what I’ll do differently, but I don’t think there is a lot to find in there,” Musgrove said on the eve of Saturday’s start. “Poor execution on a couple pitches — pitches in the zone where they weren’t missing. … I think it’s maybe adjusting sooner than we did.”
Adrián Morejón pitched a perfect seventh, and Alek Jacob did the same in the eighth before stranding two runners in the ninth as the Padres closed out their second straight shutout of the Giants. San Francisco has not scored in its past three games.
