Happy Saturday, Padres fans. I hope you’re all enjoy your weekend thus far.
I currently feel like I was hit by a bus due to the second shot of the vaccine so I apologies for not getting a recap of last night up this morning. It was a loss anyway and who ever wants to re-live those? Let’s just move on to tonight game that is also a must-win if the team wants a chance at taking over the division lead anytime soon.
Joe Musgrove is on the mound tonight against 30-year old righty Kevin Gausman.
Team News
