Padres starter Chris Paddack had a rough first inning, giving up hits to the first two batters he faced. They both scored on RBI groundouts to make it 2-0 Phillies. After that Paddack retired 13 straight batters. The only other run he allowed came on a solo homer to Didi Gregorius in 7.0 innings.
However, Philly s bullpen has been their biggest weakness all year. Jose Alvarado tried to close it out and committed two sins:
He walked the leadoff hitter and left a fastball over the plate to Tatis Jr.
Jake Cronenworth drew the walk and scored when Tatis turned around a 99 MPH heater from Jose Alvarado for a double to left-center to get San Diego on the board. Trent Grisham drew a walk, prompting Phillies manager Joe Girardi to get another reliever.
