In his first start since May 26, Joe Musgrove throws 4⅓ scoreless innings; Padres break 0-0 tie in seventh inning
San Diego, CA – August 12: San Diego Padres pitcher Joe Musgrove throws against the Pittsburgh Pirates at Petco Park on Monday, August 12, 2024. Just before he reached the dugout, he looked into the stands, tapped his heart twice and gave a quick wave in acknowledgment.He was, albeit in an purposefully abbreviated opportunity, reminiscent of his peak self — which is quite the accomplishment when pitching in a major league game for the first time in 2½ months.
Singles by Bryce Johnson and Ha-Seong Kim, a Pirates error and a sacrifice fly by Kyle Higashioka added the second run. But the best news was the result the Padres really wanted to get Monday — that Musgrove was strong and healthy. He came back out and retired Bryan De La Cruz on a fly ball to start the fifth before Mike Shildt walked to the mound to take the ball.
Musgrove was among the best starting pitchers in the National League in 2021 and ‘22, ranking 13th in the majors in ERA and 10th in innings pitched . His 2023 season started late and ended early due to myriad injuries, but he also turned in a 12-start stretch from late May to late July in which his 1.83 ERA was second best in the majors and his 73⅓ innings pitched were third most.
