The Sheriff (3-3), himself, is on the mound today for the Padres (24-16) as he’ll look to continue his bounce-back from his poor midseason form against the A’s (22-13). Left-hander Sean Manaea (2-2) gets the start for Oakland.
Even after recording zero runs against the Angels two days ago, the Friars are still #1 in the majors with 229 runs scored, but that’s just one score over the Dodgers who have 228. The team’s +55 run differential is #2 to Los Angeles, as well.
Happy Saturday and Go Padres!
