Joe Musgrove throws seven scoreless innings; Manny Machado's homer, Trent Grisham's bunt, Taylor Rogers' 16th save seal vcitory
Joe Musgrove was again, for lack of a better word, money on Saturday as the Padres beat the Giants 2-1 at Oracle Park.
“We’ve been playing them all year, which makes you hardened for them,” manager Bob Melvin said of the tight games. “So the more you come through and you win games like this, the more you expect to.” “It all starts with Joe,” manager Bob Melvin said."… He leads the way for a really good starting staff. And he’s come a long way in his career to this point right now, so it doesn’t surprise me what he’s doing putting together a terrific season to this point.”
“The double play to get me out of that jam was huge,” Musgrove said. “Another one up the middle of it to steal me an out . The defense for me really has been great all year long. Strikeouts haven’t been as high as they were last year. I’m relying heavily on those guys, throwing more fastball, throwing more sinkers. I’m trying to get some quick outs and get myself deeper in the game. So I’m relying very heavily on those guys and they’ve stepped up to the plate and done their jobs.
It’s impossible to gauge how much he might cost by then. But if it keeps going anywhere near as well as the first two months have gone, the Padres might not be able to afford keeping him even more than they can afford to not keep him. Musgrove has never seemed angry, though some around him have wondered what the Padres are thinking. He has embraced pitching at home, has family at every game and would enjoy finishing his career in town.“That’s the most important thing to me is how the guys in here feel about me and earning the respect of those guys,” Musgrove said. “So it’s nice to hear that, and I would love to stick around and play with him for a long time.
