Padres move back into National League’s top wild-card spot by getting ahead early and having Dylan Cease and three relievers hold on
SAN FRANCISCO — While the Padres were putting on their layers in preparation for a chilly night at Oracle Park, scores in two games on the other side of the country went final.Shortly after the Padres finished their pregame meals — a well-reviewed build-your-own stir fry — the Diamondbacks were starting their game against the Brewers. That score would be updated throughout the night on the scoreboard beyond the left field foul pole, ultimately reflecting a Brewers victory.
While the Padres say they’re not all that concerned with the out-of-town scoreboard, the part of the scoreboard that had been concerning of late was the section showing how they were faring.They struck quickly Friday, as Luis Arraez led off the game with a single on the second pitch he saw from Webb and Tatis smashed the second pitch he saw a projected 433 feet and over the center field wall.
With Merrill on second with two outs in the fourth inning, Elías Díaz dribbled a ball into the grass in front of the mound that Webb picked up and lobbed well over the head of first baseman LaMonte Wade Jr., allowing Merrill to resume running home to make it 4-0.
