SAN DIEGO -- The Padres' stars are simply not starring.
After Griffin Canning and St. Louis starter Michael McGreevy engaged in a good old fashioned pitcher's duel, it was a tumultuous fifth inning that led to another uninspiring home loss for San Diego.
JJ Wetherholt came around to score on his own bases loaded single after Fernando Tatis Jr. committed a three-base error, allowing all runners to cross the plate. The Cardinals tacked on two more after that to supply themselves with all the offense they'd need. Although, one run would've been more than enough.
McGreevy held the Friar bats to no runs and one hit through six brilliant innings, striking out nine while issuing just two walks in the process.
“I just think we saw some pitches to hit and we just didn’t hit them,” Padres center fielder Jackson Merrill said postgame. “Just classic baseball night, you know, just kind of went that way... We just missed some pitches,” he added.
