Musgrove gets within four outs of his second no-hitter, allows one hit in eight innings; Padres pour it on Corbin Burnes
Joe Musgrove warmed up as the ballpark full of Midwesterners sang “Take Me Out to the Ballgame” and then the “Beer Barrel Polka” in the middle of the seventh inning Friday night at American Family Field.He told catcher Austin Nola before they went out for that inning, “We’ve got to find a way to get some quick outs.”
“I felt good,” Musgrove said. “I felt like I was strong. … I felt like I would have thrown whatever it took to finish that off.” Craig Stammen pitched a perfect ninth inning to close out their first victory in five games and the 31Musgrove outdueled the reigning National League Cy Young winner and did plenty to further his candidacy for that award this season. With his eight scoreless innings, he improved to 6-0 and lowered his ERA to an NL-leading 1.64 over 66 innings. The Padres are 9-1 when he starts.
Rarely does a plan come together in the way it did Friday night. Rarer still when the opposing starting pitcher is Burnes.The right-hander, who entered the game with a 1.95 ERA, was gone after 3 2/3 innings having thrown 95 pitches, allowing five runs on eight hits. No team had gotten as many of either against him this season.
The Padres added a run in the second when Trent Grisham lined a one-out double down the right-field line and Jurickson Profar bounced a two-out single into right field.
