The Padres offense has been struggling to score runs for most of 2022, and especially the last two weeks. Nobody, possibly not even in the San Diego clubhouse, was probably predicting their bats would get going against Milwaukee ace Corbin Burnes, the reigning National League Cy Young Award winner. Baseball is a funny game. San Diego went bonkers against Burnes,…
Austin Nola walked and Profar singled again. With two outs Machado put together a tremendous at-bat. Manny fouled off a couple of tough pitches on the outside corner, waiting for Burnes to make a mistake, and when it happened the MVP candidate did not miss. Machado lofted a 3-run home run over the left field wall to make it 5-0.
Burnes was pulled after giving up five earned runs in 3.2 innings. Keep in mind, the Brewers righty gave up five earned runs in April. Give Joe Musgrove that kind of cushion and you're just about guaranteed a win. The San Diego native was, in a word, dominant, even while battling a bit of a control issue. Musgrove walked three and hit one batter, but struck out six and still had a no-hitter with two outs in the 8th inning. With his pitch count climbing well above 100, manager Bob Melvin was saved a difficult decision when Kolten Wong doubled to deep right field to break up the no-no bid.
