The Padres didn’t win today, but their fans did. That’s because they get four blissful days without watching this wreck of a baseball team. The Friars committed three errors today, making an extremely bad start from Eric Lauer even worse. The rookie with bad burrito opinions got chased after getting rocked for five runs in two innings. The only bright spots were Christian Villanueva and Hunter Renfroe, who each had solo shots this afternoon.
Lauer got roughed up pretty bad right away. Anthony Rizzo led off with a single and Kris Bryant got a free pass to first before Jason Heyward lined out.
