San Diego finally gets a win with a big offensive day in Cincinnati! ⚾
On Friday night the Padres lost a lead three times to the Reds in an extra-inning walkoff loss that ran their season-long losing streak to six games. Manager Bob Melvin said they have to try and just win one game to get back on track because thinking about going on a long run to save a season that's on the brink of derailing is not going to help anything.
On the mound, Michael Wacha was back in the rotation after missing his last start with shoulder fatigue. It looks like the problem is, indeed, behind him. Wacha tossed 5.0 innings of 1-run ball with four strikeouts, dropping his season ERA to 2.84 and putting the veteran righty squarely in the All-Star Game conversation.Sign up for NBC San Diego newsletters.
The Padres can win a series on Sunday afternoon but they aren't sure who their starting pitcher will be. Yu Darvish is dealing with the flu and might not be available. They called up Pedro Avila from Triple-A El Paso as a backup plan.
