SAN DIEGO -- The Padres' abundance of young, talented arms began to arrive in San Diego in the last few months of the season as the team began to experiment on the possibilities of the rotation come 2019.
Jacob Nix was the last starter to break into the big leagues for the Padres this year, making his debut Aug. 10 when he hurled six innings of shutout ball vs. the Phillies. His last start of the season, however, echoed how he's performed since that day, as the D-backs tagged him early and held on for a 5-4 victory Saturday night at Petco Park.
