August 21, 2022 (San Diego) - The series with the Nationals finally wraps up today and the Padres have a chance to split.  Ex-Diamondback Patrick Corbin starts for Washington against Sean Manaea.

Nelson Cruz broke the tie in the fourth with a solo homer and the Nats led 1-0 after four.

 

But Josh Bell saved the day again in the sixth with a two-run homer to deep right and the Padres split the series with an easy 2-1 win.

Gotta love em?

Are the Padres' ridiculous cammie uniforms for a special occasion or will they stay? With all that camouflage they're difficult to see. :-}
