The San Diego Padres are not contenders in 2019—a reminder which was driven home when the division-leading Los Angeles Dodgers schooled them in front of the Padres’ home crowd.
Coming off a hard-fought win against the Dodgers and with Cal Quantrill on the mound, San Diego had high hopes for Wednesday’s second game of a two-game series. Those hopes vanished and then some in a 9-0 loss.
It was frustrating deja vu for a team that once again failed to get anything going in any element of their game.
Quantrill (now 6-5) didn’t get out of the fifth inning, in which he surrendered five runs.
