Cincinnati RedsvsSan Diego Padres
CIN 2/SD 6
Things to say
Padres beat the Reds 6-2 at Petco Park.
01
opener
Padres handled the Reds 6-2 at Petco. Pretty clean win, never really felt close after the middle innings.
02
key player
San Diego's bats finally woke up against Cincinnati's starter once he started leaving stuff over the plate.
03
hot take
Reds are 31-34 and the rotation is carrying way more than it should be. That offense is gonna sink them by August.
04
deep cut
Petco at night is still a pitcher's park and the Padres put up six anyway. That tells you everything about Cincinnati's bullpen right now.
05
exit
Anyway, we'll see if the Reds can steal one before they get out of San Diego.
The recap
Padres took care of business at Petco, knocking off the Reds 6-2 to climb to 34-31 while Cincinnati slid to 31-34. With no scoring summary to point at a single hero, this had the feel of a steady San Diego night — chip away, let the bullpen lock it down, go home.
Reds couldn't get much going against the Friars' staff, and a four-run cushion meant the manager never had to sweat the pen in the late innings. Solid getaway-day win for San Diego.
