The San Diego Padres have made baseball history after being unable to score a run in their first three games of the 2016 MLB season. San Diego LHP Drew Pomeranz will fill the rotation’s No. 5 spot and start Saturday against the Rockies. Cashner only survived 4.0 innings, allowing five runs on six hits with five strikeouts. The 27-year-old right-hander signed with the Dodgers in January after an eight-year career in Japan.
“He’s as good, if not better, than advertised”, manager Dave Roberts told MLB’s official website. “JT’s line was ‘Whoever in Vegas had Maeda with the first Dodger home of the year is never working again'”.
“He had the ball going both directions, but we had some pitches to hit and we didn’t take advantage of it”, Padres manager Andy Green said.
Dodgers pitcher Kenta Maeda crushed a home run and threw six scoreless innings on his major league debut at Petco Park. After a strong pitching performance, he hit a home run in his debut game as the Dodgers registered a dominating 7-0 victory. The Dodgers are good (probably not this good), the Padres are bad (probably not this bad), but this has been a fun start to the season.Kershaw, on the other hand, has plenty of past success against the Padres. Then a Justin Turner base hit followed by walk from Adrian Gonzalez, double from Carl Crawford and a base hit from Joc Pederson.
“I saw that he hit his fourth home run already”, Green said.
– Red Sox slugger David Ortiz passed Eddie Murray for 26th all time with his 505th career home run.
San Diego Padres left fielder Jabari Blash leaps at the wall but can not catch a home run hit by Los Angeles Dodgers’ Yasiel Puig during the eighth inning of a baseball game Wednesday, April 6, 2016, in San Diego. It looked on replays like Los Angeles catcher A.J. Ellis was blocking the plate (a no-no with the so-called “Buster Posey Rule”) and Spangenberg might have gotten in under the tag but a lengthy video replay did not overturn the call of the home plate umpire. After a review of 3:02, the call was upheld.
Mets 2, Royals 0: Noah Syndergaard pitched six dominant innings and NY beat Kansas City after the Royals were given their 2015 World Series rings.
“I didn’t know that the ball was going to go in, so I was running really hard”, Maeda said through an interpreter.
Tigers 8, Marlins 7: Ian Kinsler had four RBIs, including a run-scoring single in the 11th inning, and Detroit overcame a ninth-inning meltdown to beat Miami.
