On Tuesday night, Ian Kinsler pitched better than most of the San Diego Padres‘ bullpen.
Kinsler was asked to finish out the game on the mound as San Diego was pummeled by the Tampa Bay Rays in a 10-4 loss. Seven of those runs were surrendered by Padres relievers.
It was an overall uneven outing for the Friars, getting progressively worse as the night went on. Joey Lucchesi pushed through as much as he could, but didn’t even make it through the required five innings to be eligible for the win and was tagged for the loss instead (7-7).
