Gore, a rookie left-hander, throws six scoreless innings; Cronenworth drives in three runs
For added comfort, Taylor Rogers returned to being what he was before surrendering a total of eight runs and taking the loss in each of his previous three appearances.
While Cronenworth’s offense provided fresh optimism and Rogers’ appearance gave some reassurance, Gore simply kept rewarding the Padres.The rookie left-hander struck out 10 batters for the second time in his eight starts, allowing three hits and walking three over six shutout innings. The Brewers had no extra-base hits and got just one runner beyond first base, as Gore struck out six of the final 11 batters he faced.
The Padres added three runs in the fifth when José Azocar and Trent Grisham began the inning with singles, Azocar scored on Jurickson Profar’s check-swing groundout and Cronenworth pulled a changeup down the line and over the right-field wall. Something similar could arguably be claimed about Grisham, who had his second consecutive two-hit game. But Cronenworth, an All-Star last season, entered 2021 seemingly entrenched in the top of the lineup and being counted on to continue hitting at somewhere around the .271/.343/.464 rate of his first two seasons.Over the past several weeks, all the expressions of confidence from within the organization that Cronenworth would get going sounded more and more like hopeful wishes.
