Summary
Padres’ gritty, heartbreak-inducing loss stings even more as they claw back to tie it in the ninth and score three in extras — only to fall short. The clubhouse is heavy, and with the playoff race tightening, every loss feels like a mountain. Key stars like Machado and Merrill went hitless, while pitching prospects Musgrove and Pivetta show progress in simulated innings, with Pivetta’s contract deadline looming. Meanwhile, Ty France and Andujar are delivering clutch hits — raising questions about who’s getting the reps. They’ve got a tough series ahead against a struggling team, and they need to bounce back fast. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
