The Braves were relentless against the Padres tonight, scoring in all but 3 innings. The Friars avoided a shutout by scoring a lone run by the end of the night but not before taking a 14-run pounding the whole game.
Jordan Lyles was torn apart, giving up 8 earned runs in 4.1 innings off 11 hits, two of them home runs. Bryan Mitchell followed up with an equally bad performance, giving up an additional home run and 5 earned runs off 5 hits. Phil Hughes was the only reliever who avoided giving up a run, but more importantly, Cory Spangenberg was called to pitch the final half of the ninth for the Pads, giving up only one earned run and 2 hits, and walking one.
