The fourth meeting of the season between the Cleveland Guardians and San Diego Padres will take place on Wednesday afternoon from PETCO Park. The Guardians took game one of the series yesterday with a great bullpen pitching performance.
In the 3-1 victory on Tuesday, Guardians' pitchers combined for 13 strikeouts while only allowing 6 hits. The Padres' woes at the plate continued, as they only produced one extra-base hit.
The Padres' Mike Clevinger gave up his 3rd and 4th home runs in the last 4 outings and gave up too much contact to the Cleveland hitters. He only lasted 6 innings, striking out 4 batters.
Cleveland has won 2 of 3 meetings with the Padres, allowing 4 or less runs in both victories. This will be the last meeting of the regular season for the two clubs, as both try to stay within reasonable playoff striking distance.
