Checking in on who’s hot in Major League Baseball and how the Padres stack up
Yu Darvish hit the injured list. A no-hit bid was lost, giving way to a three-game skid that erased the Padres’ first winning streak of the season.
Joe Musgrove isn’t an ace in the sense that Gerrit Cole is, but you might not find a better stopper in the game the Padres’ hometown kid, even amid an up-and-down start to season. On cue, Musgrove absorbed Toronto’s best shots to complete seven innings for the first time this season, a workman like effort that allowed the Padres to climb back to .500 as they left for treacherous Coors Field.The fastball is still down a touch. The strikeout rate is way down, from 24.3 percent to 17.9. And the expected ERA is in the bottom 2 percent of the league so far.
