After the longest MLB game in two years, the San Diego Padres came up a bit short.
The Padres did enough to win the ballgame after Blake Snell tossed a gem through seven innings with a 1-0 lead, but manager Jayce Tingler’s questionable decisions all contributed to the 5-3 loss in 16 innings.
With the Padres up 1-0 in the eighth inning, Tingler kept his ace out to toss an eighth inning as he approached the 100-pitch mark. As he hurled pitch 116 on the night, Snell made his lone mistake of the evening and catcher Will Smith took him deep.
