SEATTLE -- It's going to take more than a couple decent September outings for Bryan Mitchell to earn his way into the Padres' 2019 rotation plans. But with a strong finish to the season, Mitchell at least has the chance to throw his name back into the conversation.
He's trending in the right direction.
Mitchell worked six innings of one-run ball Tuesday evening, and Wil Myers smacked a go-ahead double in the ninth as the Padres beat the Mariners, 2-1, in the series opener at Safeco Field.
