(Apologies for the late thread. Our system is experiences some technical difficulties. As you can see, I can’t even get a picture to load now.)
Happy Thursday, everyone. It’s Mike Clevinger’s debut as a Padre so get ready for (hopefully) another stellar performance by this team tonight against the Angels.
The Friars are currently 23-15 and have a 4.5-game lead on the Rockies for second place in the NL West. They’re also #1 in the majors with 222 runs scored, which is nine ahead of the Dodgers for second-most. Their 23 wins are currently the third-most in baseball, tied with the Cleveland Indians.
Enjoy the game and Go Padres!
