Player News
Randy Vasquez worked 4 1/3 innings while allowing two runs and not factoring into the decision Friday against the Diamondbacks.
Vasquez issued four free passes, and that’s one of the main culprits for why he was only able to pitch into — and not complete — the fifth frame. He also allowed just one hit and struck out one, so he was once again fortunate to only allow those pair of runs. He’ll likely be the fifth starter for the Padres after the All-Star break.
Manny Machado went 3-for-5 with a solo homer in a 4-3 win for the Padres over the Diamondbacks on Thursday.
Machado swatted his 16th homer of the season with a solo blast off Eduardo Rodriguez. He also doubled and singled and is now up to 2,004 hits in his impressive career. Machado remains one of the best third baseman in the sport, and should be able to remain at that level for the foreseeable future.
Fernando Tatis Jr. went 2-for-4 with a homer and a walk in a win over the Diamondbacks on Thursday.
Tatis Jr. gave the Padres an early 2-1 lead in the third with a solo homer off Eduardo Rodriguez. The 26-year-old star also singled, and the three-reach game improves his slash to .262/.358/.450. It’s not the superstar level he was playing at to begin the year, but it’s far from unusable.
Robert Suarez allowed no runs while picking up a save Thursday against the Diamondbacks.
Eduardo Rodriguez went four innings while allowing four runs in a no-decision Friday against the Padres.
Taylor Ward went 2-for-4 with a homer in a loss to the Rangers on Thursday.
