The San Diego Padres lost to the San Francisco Giants last night after having a 4-0 lead at one point. Manager Bob Melvin chose to bring in Luis Garcia (5.23 ERA entering Monday) in the ninth inning with a 4-2 lead and the 36-year-old couldn’t consistently throw strikes.

Garcia lasted four batters, which perhaps was one too long, as he walked two, spiked one in the dirt that brought in a run, allowed a hard-hit single and a sac fly that advanced a runner to third.

that went well pic.
