The San Diego Padres will finally get to view one of the offseason acquisitions in actions, although it took time.
As the Padres look to snap some losing streak, more Righthand Garrett Richards will pitch in his first game with San Diego on Monday.
Richards, who spent his first eight years with the Angels, going 45-38, 3.66, had Tommy John surgery to fix a torn ulnar collateral ligament last June.
The 31-year-old has worked his way backagain. He’s pitched five rehab games with the Padres Rookie along with High-A teams, moving 0-1, 10.61 with 13 strikeouts in 9.1 innings. In addition, he walked 11 batters, yet.
Even the Padres’ starting team could use the increase. Although the novices combined, san Diego came from a horrific weekend providing up 10 or more runs in each game.
Not one starter continued through four innings, and the rotation allowed 16 runs in 9.1 innings for a 15.43 ERA.
Manny Machado hit his 30th home run of the season on the weekend, giving the Padres a set of run players–Hunter Renfroe, together with 31 is the other.
Renfroe took batting practice during the weekend and is expected to return.
losing replicate MVP candidate Christian Yelich to some kneecap the Brewers are managing to stay afloat from the wild card race.
Milwaukee has won eight of its final 10 to move within three matches of the NL Central lead and a game of their wild card.
That’s remarkable, considering that the Brewers were seven games back in the wild card this month, before losing their best player which was.
The Brewers face a constant diet of sub .500 teams while the Cubs and Cardinals–the two teams before them face off against each other seven times in the next two months.
Milwaukee won in dramatic fashion toppling the Central top Cardinals 7-6 on a hit by Ryan Braun with 2 outs in the inning.
The Brewers could be near getting back baseman Keston Hiura . After suffering a strained left hamstring, he hit on the weekend for his first plate appearance in September.
The Brewers will send Zach Davies (9-7, 3.77) to the mound. Milwaukee has won his last few starts, and he’s 3-0, 3.58 in his career against the Padres.
Start looking for the Brewers to continue their roster against a starter who’s only working his way back into shape.
