San Diego native Joe Musgrove led the Padres to victory through his DOMINANT outing in the deciding game of the Wild Card Series against the Mets.
NEW YORK — The San Diego Padres are advancing to the National League Division Series after defeating the New York Mets 6-0 Sunday night.
Trent Grisham has stepped up big time at the plate for San Diego in this series, and he contributed again on Sunday. A Grisham single in the top of the fourth led to shortstop Ha-Seong Kim crossing the plate, extending the Padres' lead to 3-0. With two outs and two runners on, the Padres were unable to convert as Profar grounded out to close out the top of the sixth.
San Diego's defense continued to dominate in the seventh. After walking the first batter, Musgrove tossed a trio of sliders at Francisco Lindor, leading to a ground out as Myers dove for the ball on the first base line. Pete Alonso hit a line out to Juan Soto when he stepped to the plate. Jeff McNeil hit another ground out, bringing the inning to an end as Myers flipped the ball to Musgrove at first.
Robert Suarez took over for Musgrove, who earned some much needed rest. Suarez struck out Mark Canha to open the frame, catching him swinging on a 99 mph four-seam fastball. The next batter popped out after five pitches, and Suarez only needed three more fastballs to strikeout Eduardo Escobar and advance to the ninth.
