Nelson Cruz goes 3-for-5, Brent Honeywell and two other relievers pick up Nick Martinez as Padres even long weekend series
It was another three hours of lead changes and walks and big hits and big outs and an October night’s worth of tension in early-April game.
Honeywell inherited loaded bases and ended the inning on three pitches before getting the next five outs and leaving with two on and two out in the seventh. Garcia entered, walked the first batter he faced and ended that inning with a pop fly out before surviving an error by Xander Bogaerts that began the bottom of the eighth.Such theatrics are not entirely unexpected given the Padres and Braves are widely considered among the favorites to win the World Series.
That gave the Padres runners at first and second with one out and cleanup hitter Nelson Cruz at the plate. Two pitches later, they had runners at second and third via a double steal that didn’t draw a throw. A Jake Cronenworth strikeout put the Padres in peril of paying for the gaffe before walks by Ha-Seong Kim and Austin Nola forced Machado home.
Martinez got though two innings in just 27 pitches. After Shuster worked his first 1-2-3 inning in the top of the third, the Braves saw 36 pitches from Martinez and tied the game in the bottom of the third.
