PADRES POSTCAST: Padres Take Game 1 in 8-0 Blowout! King Nearly No-Hits Cubs, Manny & Fernando Shine
The Padres take Game 1 of the Wild Card Series with an emphatic 8–0 shutout of the Chicago Cubs at Petco Park—and the night ends with one of the most emotional moments of the season.Michael King was sensational, holding the Cubs’ high-powered offense hitless through six and one-third innings and finishing with seven scoreless innings, one hit, three walks and eight strikeouts. Fernando Tatis Jr. and Manny Machado went back-to-back in the first inning to give San Diego an immediate lead. Manny added a double and a walk; Fernando reached base, scored three times and stole a base. Jackson Merrill drove in two, while Xander Bogaerts, Ty France and three other Padres joined the two-hit parade. San Diego finished with 13 hits, and five Padres recorded two-hit games.Then came Joe Musgrove.The San Diego native, returning to the mound after missing the last two regular seasons during his recovery from elbow surgery and Tommy John surgery, entered in the ninth to a massive Petco ovation. With the bases loaded and two outs, Musgrove delivered the final pitch of the night: a called strike three. The crowd exploded, and the Padres had their shutout.Game 1 matters in a best-of-three series. Before tonight, 21 of the previous 24 Game 1 winners had gone on to win their Wild Card Series, with 17 series ending in sweeps. The Padres have put themselves in the driver’s seat, but they still need one more win to advance.GRIES breaks down King’s near no-hitter, the first-inning statement from Manny and Fernando, Merrill’s two-RBI hit, the five two-hit Padres, Musgrove’s unforgettable comeback moment, the turning point, Player of the Game, X-factor, who fudged up, and what this result means for the series.#Padres #SanDiegoPadres #PadresPostcast #MLB #MLBPlayoffs #WildCardSeries #MichaelKing #JoeMusgrove #MannyMachado #FernandoTatisJr #JacksonMerrill #ChicagoCubs🎙️ Padres Postcast with Host Jim "Gries" GrieshaberThe Padres and Cubs play Game 2 of their 3-game National League Wild Card Playoff Series tomorrow night at Petco Park, with Nick Pivetta on the mound, and 1st pitch set for 7pm.We will be here right after every game with your PADRES POSTCAST, hosted by Jim "Gries" Grieshaber.——-Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!IndeedListeners of this show get a $75 Sponsored Job Credit to help give your job the premium placement it deserves at http://Indeed.com/podcast.Dose DailyReady to give your liver the support it deserves?
