Padres Bats Fall Silent Again in Loss to Twins

Sometimes things just don't go your way. Sometimes you fail to make your own luck. Saturday night was both for the Padres.

The Friars went 2-for-10 with runners in scoring position against the Twins, and on one of those hits that should have tied the game the runner never moved in a 7-4 loss to Minnesota on Saturday night at Petco Park . If that sounds odd, it is. Allow me to explain. In the 7th inning, trailing 2-1, the Friars tried to mount a rally. CJ Abrams singled and moved to 2nd base on a throwing error by Carlos Correa. Jurickson Profar hit a liner that came off the bat at 103 MPH right up the middle ... and into the leg of 2nd base umpire Jerry Layne. The MLB rulebook says any batted ball that hits an umpire after traveling past the pitcher but before reaching the outfield is automatically ruled dead.

Abrams, one of the fastest players in the game, would have scored easily. Instead he had to stay on 2nd base while Profar was given a single. Manny Machado struck out and Eric Hosmer popped to short, stranding Abrams and ending their last good scoring chance and, it seems, sucking most of the life out of the San Diego dugout.
