The Hangover 2020 – Game 55-56

Game 56

Angels 5, Padres 2

Winning Pitcher: Patrick Sandoval (1-4, 5.56)

Losing Pitcher: Adrian Morejon (2-2, 4.86)

Save: Felix Peña (2)

The Padres (34-22) scored fewer runs than the Los Angeles Angels (26-31), 5-2, in the finale of their two-game series at Petco Park. Mike Clevinger (3-2, 3.02) pitched one inning with no hits or walks and two strikeouts before exiting the game with the same biceps tightness that was to blame for his last start being scratched. Shohei Ohtani hit a two-run home run and Justin Upton & Anthony Bemboom each hit solo home runs in the second inning. Taylor Ward scored on a single by David Fletcher in the sixth inning.

Jaime Barria (1-0, 3.62) gave up two runs on three hits and no walks or strikeouts in two innings. Eric Hosmer hit a two-run home run with Manny Machado on base in the first inning.

That was a nice start to the game

Morejon heating up now in Padres bullpen…hmmm…
— Bob Scanlan (@heyscan) September 23, 2020

Adrian Morejon is limbering up, which is not a good sign for Mike Clevinger's playoff prospects. Clevinger threw a 1-2-3 first, but had biceps tightness on Saturday.

Clevinger dominates the first inning and then has to leave. Not a small deal. pic.twitter.com/MRDYhsuMxY
— Craig Elsten (@619sports) September 23, 2020

Keeping fingers crossed that this was just part of a secret plan for Clevinger and no reason to tip off the Angels…but they should let everyone know now if that’s the case.

96 down the middle/at the belt is going to end up on the beach sometimes.
— David, Slam Enthusiast (@DefiniteExpert) September 23, 2020

Adrian is ass today. That kid sure has a lot of that in his life.
— William, washing kegs again (@LybargerBrewery) September 23, 2020

Morejon’s not looking great today. #analysis
— Pizza On A Bagel (@PadresOnABagel) September 23, 2020

Three home runs now in the inning for Morejon.
— Jeff Sanders (@sdutSanders) September 23, 2020

HOLY SHIT PADRES STOP
— AJ's Magical Weekend (@PadreHomer) September 23, 2020

someone make this nightmare inning stop.
— Greg Weeks (@GregWeeksCLT) September 23, 2020

So not a planned early exit for Clevinger and Morejon is getting lit up. Ugh.
— Ryan Phillips (@RumorsandRants) September 23, 2020

This is fun, i'm having fun.
— Carlos R (@C_LosR) September 23, 2020

To sprinkle in some good news, Clevinger's already had Tommy John Surgery once before and who doesn't value experience?
— David, Slam Enthusiast (@DefiniteExpert) September 23, 2020

Tuning you out while I pencil in Pham and Moreland
— AJ's Magical Weekend (@PadreHomer) September 23, 2020

Garrett Richards should’ve never left the rotation.
— Judson Richards (@Judson1360) September 23, 2020

Did Don just say Grisham was 0 of his last 16?
— Brian (@monkigrass) September 23, 2020

Pretttty sure I noticed the "King of the Hill" theme being played after Tim Hill got the final two outs of the inning here at Petco.
— jesse agler (@jesseagler) September 23, 2020

Tim Hill is someone I have never seen pitch before despite 100+ career innings in MLB, and I want to know why no one told me about him…

sidearm lefty who sits in the low 90's? THAT'S MY CHEESE!
— Taylor Blake Ward (@TaylorBlakeWard) September 23, 2020

Can't we just have elbows melt and shoulders disintegrate AFTER the season. Like when players are lifting a newpropane tank in preparation for a family barbecue? It's September 23rd; this is not the time.
— AJM (@AvengingJM) September 23, 2020

Best part of this was hearing @Mudcat55 just bust out laughing, no doubt thinking he could have won 4 Cy Youngs with a plate that wide. pic.twitter.com/9jDKUiXw75
— Jay Posner (@sdutPosner) September 23, 2020

He totally dropped that didn’t he?
— AJM (@AvengingJM) September 23, 2020

Rules to shorten baseball games were made because of Joe Maddon.
— Kevin B. (@CornfedFriar) September 23, 2020

Angels third base coach Brian Butterfield got tossed. Looked like Albert Pujols was lobbying to coach third in his place.
— AJ Cassavell (@AJCassavell) September 23, 2020

It’s weird how hard baseballs are hit when Craig Stammen is pitching. Coincidence, I’m sure.
— Pizza On A Bagel (@PadresOnABagel) September 23, 2020

That Pham call was BS. I’m not freaking out or anything, I’m just pissed at a BS call.
— William, washing kegs again (@LybargerBrewery) September 23, 2020

Three overturned calls in less than a full inning.
— Woe, Doctor! (@woedoctor) September 23, 2020

First base ump not doing great on the close plays.
— Pizza On A Bagel (@PadresOnABagel) September 23, 2020

Weird that in a game that is dragging on like time is standing still we have also witnessed the two fastest replay reviews of the year.
— Jeremy (@Jeremy_Nash) September 23, 2020

I want the Pham we traded for
— TeeOhEmm (@TeeOhEmm) September 23, 2020

I just don't understand why Craig Stammen is even on the Padres roster.
— sdsuaztec4 (@sdsuaztec4) September 23, 2020

Fucking sucks
— AJM (@AvengingJM) September 23, 2020

❤️ Mark Grant and his umpire disbelief.
— Keith (@keith_SD) September 23, 2020

The first inning of this game feels like it was six hours ago. #Padres

Joe Maddon wanders around a baseball field as if he's at the grocery store trying to figure out which aisle has the pickled herring.
