After outscoring the St. Louis Cardinals 15-3 in the first two games, the San Diego Padres looked ready to make it three in a row against the Redbirds to kick off a five-game winning streak.
The Friars were quick to get the party started, as Manny Machado hit his 20th home run of the year to lift the Padres to 2-0 in the first inning. They added a third run in the fifth inning off of Eric Hosmer’s RBI single to plate Fernando Tatis Jr.
Despite his stat line, Joey Lucchesi had himself a solid game.
