Would have been nice to get some of this pitching and hitting in the Twins series but, we’ll take it! In the mini two-game sweep, M’s outscored the Padres 25-7
ON the MOUND
Nate a l m o s t made it through SEVEN . . .
the Padres scored early but, they didn’t score often
SIX.TWO innings ~ EIGHT hits ~ TWO earned runs ~ ONE walk ~ SIX strikeouts
Bully . . .
Steve, Joaquin and Joel combined for the rest (Joel allowed a ONE run shot)
AT the PLATE
The M’s didn’t score early but, they did score often . . .

IN the FIELD
* couple of errors – one each by the starting battery
* DP turned (DH-O’Malley-DH)

Kuma was perfect through FOUR, not allowing his first hit until a lead-off single in the 5th. He managed to get out of that inning unscathed but, later allowed THREE homers before his outing ended . . .
SEVEN innings ~ FIVE hits ~ FOUR earned runs ~ ZERO walks ~ FIVE strikeouts
Bully . . .
Vidal and Monty combined for TWO scoreless innings 🙂
