"I think overall you have to look at that outing as a terrific outing for Ian," said Padres interim manager Pat Murphy, whose team fell, 7-1, to the Phillies after the bullpen surrendered five runs in the eighth. "He pitched very well and gave us a chance to win. We're in play after seven innings and just one back."
Maybe Kennedy tried too hard in the first inning, maybe it was just one of those things, but the Phillies loaded the bases thanks in part to three walks. That's when Andres Blanco ripped a ball down to third that Solarte dove and caught.
