Corbin Martin failed to get out of the first inning. He gave up back to back homers to Tommy Pham and Tatis to start the game. That was followed by : Walk-Single-HBP- Sac Fly RBI- Walk. That was all Torey Lovullo could stomach, as he trudged out to take the ball away from Martin and give it to Riley Smith. Smith gave up a sac fly RBI of his own before getting the 9th batter of the inning, Padres pitcher Chris Paddack, to line out to right. 4-0 Padres.
