San Diego PadresvsBaltimore Orioles
SD 9/BAL 3
Things to say
Padres beat the Orioles 9-3 at Camden Yards.
01
opener
Padres rolled into Baltimore and just took the bats to them, 9-3. Felt over by the middle innings. Camden played small all night.
02
key player
San Diego's lineup did the damage top to bottom — every spot in the heart of the order got into something.
03
hot take
Orioles bullpen is cooked. You can't keep handing leads to that group and expect to stay in the AL East race.
04
deep cut
Baltimore's starter clearly didn't have it, and the manager went to the pen way too early — once that door opened it was a parade.
05
exit
Anyway, we'll see if the O's can bounce back tomorrow before SD heads home.
The recap
Padres rolled into Camden Yards and absolutely tattooed the place, 9-3. San Diego's bats got into Baltimore's stuff early and the bullpen never put out the fire — looked like the manager went to the pen too early and it spiraled.
Orioles couldn't string anything together against the heart of the SD lineup, who left the yard enough times to make it a laugher by the middle innings. Just a getaway-day beatdown.
