They take most of drama out of Game 2 with four-run seventh
There’s one more shot for the Padres to show that all that payroll, a singular trade-deadline surge and a season filled with more offensive questions than consistency still can ink a special ending.
Though the Padres brought the tying run to the plate in the ninth, beginning when Trent Grisham was hit by reliever Adam Ottavino and Austin Nola, Juan Soto and Manny Machado walked, Josh Bell grounded out to extinguish the late, long-shot threat. NL batting champ Jeff McNeil roped a two-run, bases-loaded double to right-center to bust open a tight and wildly pitched game. When the Padres swapped Pierce Johnson for Morejon, Eduardo Escobar piled on with a run-scoring single to make it 6-2.“It’s tough on a night like tonight where you know how much it means to move to ,” Mets manager Buck Showalter said. “It’s so easy to get out of it. It takes a lot of discipline.
“I feel really prepared,” he said. “I like where I’m at physically, delivery-wise. Done a lot of homework over the past week and a half on , so I know what I want to do. It just ultimately comes down to execution. Excited to get out there.”“We feel good,” Melvin said of his $100 million pitcher shouldering the kind of game $100 million pitchers do. “Joe’s thrown well for us all year. We’re in pretty good shape with our bullpen as well. Yeah, I think this team takes a lot of confidence with Joe.
Soto moved Profar to third with his second hit of the night, but Machado and Bell struck out to mute the threat.
