Game Thread: 09 MAR Padres vs. Dodgers

Oof. 2 in a row, and not in a good way. Your Padres dropped a 2nd game in a row for the 1st time this spring, getting trounced by the White Sox 6-0. RHP Chris Paddack, the Padres’ presumptive Opening Day starter, looked uncharacteristically inaccurate. The Sox took advantage, scoring 4 before Paddack hit the showers, 3 coming off a pair of HRs by the Sox’ Cheslor Cuthbert. Paddack did record 4 Ks with no BBs, so he had that going for him. The Padres batters also couldn’t do much, as they were unable to string together anything on offense, recording only 6 hits and 1 walk on the day.

Today’s Game:

The Padres will host the despicable, the vile, the absolutely abhorrent L.A. Dodgers today. RHP Garrett Richards will get the start, facing off against the Dodgers’ Alex Wood. We will see if Fernando Tatis JR returns to game action today after battling the flu most of last week. Game info follows:

Go Padres! BEAT L.A.!!!
