The San Diego Padres are following a blueprint—it’s just not the blueprint that they want, as Tuesday’s series opener with the San Francisco Giants went the way that many Padres games have gone recently.
The Padres wiped out an early lead and a strong effort from starter Chris Paddack when reliever Trey Wingenter gave up three runs in the seventh inning, leading to a 6-5 loss.
Wingenter was brought on for one inning and gave up three runs on two hits. He also walked two, including the leadoff hitter. He was charged with both a blown save and the loss (0-1).
