No sense in sugarcoating the recap today’s contest. This was not fun pretty much from the get go. Of course, the worst day at the ballpark will usually surpass most days at work, but when you’ve got a laundry list of tasks piling up during a one sided contest it’s easy for the mind to wander. Merrill Kelly was the pitcher for the Arizona Diamondbacks today against Eric Lauer for the San Diego Padres in the series finale.
Lauer had already faced the D’backs two times this season taking the loss in both games and had allowed seven earned runs and seventeen hits in ten innings pitched.
