Chris Paddack coasted through the first 2 innings of Monday nights game before finding some trouble in the 3rd. What separates the good from the great is what happened next. Paddack gave up a run, but he got out of deep trouble to limit the damage. Instead of the Padres chasing a multi run lead as they have been in previous games, Paddack stopped the bleeding.
He wouldn’t that type of resistance throughout the rest of his outing. Paddack threw 6 innings of 1 run ball. He gave up 5 hits and struck out 7.
