Yu Darvish, he's returning from that neck tightness injury. Exciting. I mean, it's the big news of the day. He's going to have to be like superman right now because we know the team has been on a little bit of a slide. So congratulations to you and for the club to be able to bring him back. And again, Yu Darvish on the mound tonight for the Padres, as we said, making his return from the il, you see the numbers there got off to a slow start in part due to the neck issue that he was dealing. Hopefully that's all cleared up. We'll get a chance to see how long Yu Darvish can go in tonight's ballgame to center and Merrill back a step or two. Handle the first out of the ball game. One out. Nobody on for the switch hitter lie de La Cruz batting left handed here and that is strike three. Got a call there two down here in the first inning. Spencer steer lines, one to center Merrill is back there and he makes the catch a 123 1st for yu Darvish friend Nick Martinez on the mountain for the red. We've seen plenty of this guy do his thing. Changeup is the pitch he'll be looking for to left and that is in for base hit pros to get it done from the leadoff spot. A single and a walk to put two on with nobody out for J Cron and a ground ball back to the mound. Martinez has no play. He was thinking about a lot of stuff about double play and it ends up doesn't get anybody but the bases are loaded. Nobody out. Manny Machado at the plate. Fly Cruz. He snow cone sneered it. Da Cruz comes to help his pitchers in so many different ways. And this defensive grab right here because he uses all of his 6 ft five frame and he gets way out there to be able to get that ball and that brings new life into you when you're pitching. Now. One gone. And here's Andrew Bogart lifted routine right in the grab pro bluffs the tag strong throw to the plate by Benson back to back batters with the bases loaded and the Padres get nothing thus far. This would really be something if Martinez can get Jackson Merrill here. The rookie swings the first pitch and he lifts it high in the air play and right Benson's under it, he's got it and the inning is over. They're in San Diego bases loaded. Nobody out and they do not score number nine hitter Tyler Wade making his first start at third base since Thursday swung on. Lifted Lazily to right in short. Right. It's going to be a tough play falling quickly. Benson in slides. He caught it unbelievable play by will be. I didn't think he was going to get there, but he came sliding in and called off jonathan India right at the last minute, scooped his glove under it to make a tremendous sliding catch. Can lead things off of the Reds as we start the third inning of play here grounded with eyes that's through the night after he halted that long ###### stretch. He's the first red to reach tonight is the 12 not running and a swing and a miss tried to check could not win around and a third strike out of the night for Yu Darvish. So now two in scoring position with two outs, Cruz and a ground ball slowly to first base, gobbled up by Cron, he'll bring it himself and the side is retire one away in the bottom of the third innings coming up. Here's a liner to left field diving and not getting it is steer. It's by him, backed up by Fairchild but in to second base goes, fernando, a real gamble there by steer but his center fielder backed him up. Now you got a runner in scoring position ponder the two opportunities to drive him in including jake swinging the hot battle blot out of the reach of Indiana, right? No Padres take a one lead. Jake driving in the games. First run, drops it just over the head of the second baseman. India Padres take a 10 lead. Now, Machado, oh ball frozen strike three. I don't think Machado was even ready to hit that at bat. It just didn't look like he was comfortable. Flied to right in his first change up. Right. Center field. Fair child is there. He's got it. And that will retire the Padres here in the third Campusano will stand in. He popped out to the first baseman and his first time up, jammed him tweener on the slide. Stewart Fairchild Campusano tries to get one in there with Fairchild runs it down. Hassan kim Kim struck out his first time up, popped up India out and he tumbles down makes the play. So 123, 1st 123, 2nd 1234, navigated that rough third got out unscathed and really been nothing out there for the Reds outside of that and Maile hits this one sharply right between short and third on the ground and into left field for a base hit sinker out over the plate and Maile not waiting around for that hook again. Two down Maley at first and Stewart Fair Child coming up grounder to third base. Tyler Wade goes to first. Highworth comes down with it for the out that ends the inning. So Darvish does get through the fifth. It's 1 to 0. Padres out number one of the inning and now runners on the corners and Jake Cronenworth coming up there goes Fernando at first, there's a ground ball right side. India has got one play. It's at first and a run scores. Catcher's interference. Schulte is coming out here interference in this situation. The offensive manager has the option to take the results of the play or take the results of the catcher's interference. So it looks like Schulte is going to take the interference and have the bases loaded. He could have had the runner out and the run score. He opted to take a run off the board. He just did so bases loaded will be the situation for Manny Machado. It seems like he's playing for the big inning here to the gap in left center field. Machado that's down from third comes Wade, here comes fernando clear the bases, here comes where they 40 Padres Machado clears the bases, what a call by Mike Shield there and Manny Machado makes him look brilliant. Bases clearing doubles. Two down here in the fifth inning, Jackson Merrill about to be the seventh guy to bat here in the fifth to left field. And in coming in the lights, steer drops it around from second. Machado. I think he lost it in the lights , he lost it in the light. Yu Darvish in his return from the I five shutout innings, three hits, no walks, three strikeouts for exactly 70 pitches and Morejon into the game here. 2nd and 3rd. Now with one out, here's the one pitch to India swung on little looper into short right field that will get down for a hit, one runs home. Here comes steer behind de la Cruz, the throw to the plates up the line and it's a two run single for Jonathan India and the Reds are on the board and right back in it, the scoring position now with two down swing and a santos got him with that great and the side is retire runner on first one out. Top of the order. Jen profar is in the left field base hit steer races over slides to grab it. Heading for third is kim far to second will be safe, wants him to check it. He thought he got him. We'll see. Just gets that left hand on that bag for the tag. Fernando Tatis Junior. The batter against the drawn in infield runners on 2nd and 3rd 1 out on the ground. Second base is coming home. The throw is bad and safe at first is fernando 6 to 2. Padres. Kim gets in and facing in de Los santos Reds trailing in this ballgame. 6 to 2 might have broken his bat and that's got some carry to right field and gone. The candy man can indeed back to back days and a third bomb on the year for Jer Candelaria. Fair child, child. 0 to 2 here tonight. Fair. Child center field way back and down. The Reds have two home runs in the inning. They have pulled to within 264 ballgame on Stewart Fairchild's first home run of the year. Here's has Kemp singled his last time up. It's three straight cutters that look like they're in the zone at the knees, all the face of tell you from the, they can hear Pagan gets him looking what a bounce back for Pagan from three to 002 kind of fastball upstairs and he just flat blew him away just as the inning closed. Millio Pagan clearly was frustrated. David Bell raced out in defense of his pitcher and he gave a guff to corey Blazer tossed almost immediately and the big moment came as he tried to leave the field, he still felt that fire, Justin wilson to face the top of this padre order swing and that one's right back at the pitcher wilson and it smoked him. He is hobbling around down to home plate immediately. Ale the trainer shown a queen out. I'm not sure where it got him. We'll see right here hard comebacker knocks Wilson out of the game two down. Luke Bailey fly ball, center field back goes Jackson Merrill on to the warning track, makes the catch and end the ball game. Padres win.
