It was a much better performance by Blake Snell on Tuesday night than his first start last week in Philadelphia. Snell only allowed one run in his first five innings pitched. Unfortunately for his night, it didn’t end there as the San Diego Padres would go on to lose 4-1 after reliever Craig Stammen allowed a three-run home run with two of those runs being accounted to Snell.
Looking back to the decision to keep Blake Snell in. I thought no way you let him throw the 6th in just his second start this season and take the 5 IP 1 ER as a win considering you’re facing Corbin Burnes on the other side.
