April 8, 2022 (Phoenix) - As with every Padres season, a horrific loss on Opening Day usually will let us know how the Padres will play this year.  And it doesn’t look good.  Nevertheless, we soldiered on to game two tonight.  Sean Manaea started against Merrill Kelly for Arizona.

It was a deadlocked, boring game until the sixth when Jurickson Profar launched a two-run bomb and the Padres led 2-0 after six.

 
Profar singled again in the eighth that scored Eric Hosmer and despite Manaea’s and Tim Hill’s combined no-hitter being broken up, the Padres rebounded nicely after last night with a 3-0 win.

Game three is an hour earlier tomorrow night at 5:10 p.m.  Grossmont High alum Joe Musgrove starts against Zach Davies for Arizona.
