A Tough Loss in San Diego

The game started with Hunter Goodman reaching first on an error, and Jordan Beck following up with a single to put runners on. Unfortunately, Ezequiel Tovar struck out to end the threat. It seemed to be a recurring theme as Brenton Doyle hit a double in the 2nd inning, but we couldn't capitalize, with both Kyle Karros and Yanquiel Fernández striking out. Our offensive struggles continued as Padres’ pitching proved tough.Padres Capitalize on Opportunities
The Padres managed to get on the board in the 3rd inning when Luis Arraez singled home a run after a wild pitch put Freddy Fermin in scoring position. We were keeping it close until the 4th when Jackson Merrill hit a home run to extend their lead to 2-0. Our bullpen did its best to keep us in the game, with some solid relief work from Nick Herget and Victor Vodnik maintaining the status quo.Final Innings and Looking Ahead
Although we had hits from Mickey Moniak and solid pitching from the bullpen, the Padres held on for the 2-0 victory. Hoping our Rockies find some momentum in the next game.
