For San Diego Padres fans, Friday night was fun! Fans have been clamoring for it for months and now the process of bringing up young, rookie arms is moving forward, at an alarming rate. Friday night at Petco Park, Jacob Nix made his MLB debut. His outing was one of the more successful debut outings in San Diego Padres team history.
While Nix was pitching in the friendly confines of Petco Park, his opponent was the shockingly good Philadelphia Phillies. The Phillies are neck-and-neck with the Atlanta Braves in a race for the National League East crown.
