The Padres Need Help

Rogers Center promises to deliver an exciting clash between the San Diego Padres and the Toronto Blue Jays. After a rather challenging weekend against the Phillies, where they suffered a defeat in three out of four games, the Padres are eager to bounce back stronger than ever. On the other hand, the Blue Jays had a triumphant weekend with a remarkable three-game sweep against the Diamondbacks.

The Padres kicked off their series against the Phillies with an impressive 8-3 victory in Friday’s opener. In a rather unfortunate turn of events, the team ended up losing the subsequent three games with scores of 6-4, 9-4 and 7-6. However, it should be noted that on Sunday, Seth Lugo, the starting pitcher, displayed commendable effort by pitching for 5.1 innings where he conceded five earned runs from seven hits, impressively managing to avoid any walks.

Over the weekend, the Blue Jays achieved an impressive three consecutive victories against the Diamondbacks, winning with scores of 7-2, 5-2, and 7-5. In Sunday’s game, Toronto’s Yusei Kikuchi showcased his skills, delivering a commendable performance of 4.2 innings. He allowed only one earned run on two hits and three walks.

San Diego seemed like it was ready to take the MLB by storm, but has run into trouble. That will continue today.

Braves Look To Recover

SunTrust Park will see the Arizona Diamondbacks and Atlanta Braves face off. The Diamondbacks enter this matchup on a three-game losing streak, having been defeated by the Blue Jays over the weekend. Meanwhile, the Braves also suffered a series loss against the White Sox, dropping two out of three games.

In their recent encounter with the Blue Jays, the Diamondbacks experienced a stroke of misfortune as they were defeated in all three games by scores of 7-2, 5-2, and 7-5. On Sunday, the performance of Arizona’s starting pitcher, Tommy Henry, lasted for a lengthy 4.1 innings and resulted in three hits.

Conversely, the Braves dominated the White Sox with an impressive 9-0 victory on Friday. Yet, Atlanta experienced defeat on Saturday, losing by a narrow margin of 6-5, followed by a sizeable 8-1 defeat in the Finals. Also on Sunday, Kolby Allard, the Braves’ starting pitcher, struggled as he only managed to last for 1.2 innings and allowed four earned runs along with seven hits and one walk.
