Joe Musgrove pitched 6 2/3 brilliant innings for his hometown Padres against defending World Series champion Atlanta, Manny Machado homered for his career-high fifth hit and rookie C.J. Abrams hit his first homer in a 12-1 rout in the home opener.
San Diego Padres starting pitcher Joe Musgrove works against an Atlanta Braves batter during the first inning of a baseball game Thursday, April 14, 2022, in San Diego.
“Getting to open up in front of your hometown, a full stadium, especially when baseball is as exciting as it is in San Diego, it's everything I dreamed of,” Musgrove said after the Padres routed the defending World Series champion Atlanta Braves 12-1. “He said, ‘What if I give you two hitters and then pull you out and see if we can get you a little ovation,'" Musgrove said."I said I'm up for that. My focus was just getting those first two guys.”
Musgrove's start came a year and five days after he threw the first no-hitter in franchise history, at Texas in his second start with the Padres. “It’s a good feeling to have the support of an entire city, but we also feel a little bit more pressure when everyone's reaching out and everyone’s pulling for you and everyone’s coming to watch you,” Musgrove said. “It was nice to have a little bit of excitement from the offense and some of the other guys on the team to take a little bit of that off.”
Abrams, the sixth pick overall in the 2019 draft, made the club after a strong spring. The 21-year-old shortstop, who's from the Atlanta area, hit an opposite-field homer to left on Morton's second pitch of the second. Voit added an RBI double to make it 5-0. Voit hit a two-run single in the sixth.
