It’s only been three games into the 2021 MLB season, but the early returns on the Padres’ new trio of pitchers are looking to be right in line with what everyone hoped they’d be.
In his first start back in his home state, Joe Musgrove struck out eight batters through six innings and Ryan Weathers fanned another three in as many innings to help blank the Diamondbacks 7-0 on Saturday night in Petco Park.
After going hitless through the previous two games, Machado recorded his first hit of the new season on a solo home run over the right field fence in the opening inning.
