We’re sick of writing it and you’re tired of reading it — the San Diego Padres’ bullpen is to blame for yet another loss.
After Eric Lauer allowed three runs to score through five innings, Craig Stammen took the mound in an attempt to keep it close.
Instead, he surrendered the tying run in the top of sixth thanks to his own errant throw to home, which likely would’ve gotten the runner out. That was Stammen’s third game in a row in which he squandered a Padres lead, making it five runs allowed in his last 2.
