The San Diego Padres had a four-run lead on the Los Angeles Dodgers with nine outs to go. And they found a way to lose the game.
The Padres bullpen combined to give up not one, not two, not three, not four, but five home runs from the start of the seventh inning on in Wednesday’s loss.
With a 9-5 lead to start the seventh, Daniel Hudson gave up a solo home run to Mookie Betts in the bottom of the seventh to make it 9-6. No big deal right? Betts is a great player and it’s just one home run.
