Thursday night’s game against the San Francisco Giants was a disaster. The San Diego Padres recorded one hit against Chris Stratton (1.40 career WHIP), coming from the unlikeliest of sources, Clayton Richard.
Clayton Richard’s pinch-hit single in the third inning was all she wrote for the Friars in their 7-0 loss, sending their record to 4-10 on the year.
The Padres found themselves, yet again, on the wrong side of history.
The last time a Major League team was one-hit, with that lone hit by a pitcher who didn't start: 6/28/1935
Mace Brown, a Pirates reliever, had the only knock in an 8-0 loss to the Cubs.
