The San Diego Padres beat the St. Louis Cardinals, 3-1, in another intense matchup. The Friars improved to 56-49 on the year.
Superstar Manny Machado had two hits in the win and was hit by just as many pitches. Benches cleared once again as the third baseman had some choice words for Cardinals coach Jon Jay both during and after the game.
Additionally, some major trade deadline updates are given as there is less than a week to go and the Padres still have a few areas to strengthen ahead of the most important stretch of the season. The bullpen showed why they are as feared as they are around the league on Saturday, but another consistent bat can prove to be exactly what the Friars need.
