After the game, nobody was talking about Grisham s single; they were talking about the improbable grand slam by Padres rookie relief pitcher
Daniel Camarena. He entered the game in the fourth inning after Padres starter
Yu Darvish gave up six runs. Camarena surrendered two more runs, leaving the Padres trailing 8-0 going into the bottom of the fourth.
The Padres managed to plate two runs and load the bases against Nationals ace
Max Scherzer bringing the 28-year-old to the plate. On a 1-2 pitch, Camarena reached down and ripped a fastball over the right-field fence, cutting the Nationals lead to 8-6 and sending the crowd at Petco Park into a frenzy.
