Padres Triumph Over Angels, 4-1

0:00On April 19th, San Diego Padres took down the Los Angeles Angels 4-1 on Saturday night, with Ramón Lloriano and Fernando Tateez Jr. each, knocking in two runs. Germán Marquez set the tone early, tossing five and two-thirds scoreless innings in his strongest star yet. The game stayed scoreless until the eighth, when Freddie Ferman and Jake Croninworth drew four pitch walks to open the frame. Lloriano chopped an RBI single up the middle for the one nothing lead. Tateez hit a smart RBI dribbler on a hit-and-run through second base, making it two-nothing. Angels fought back in the bottom half, scratching across one run on singles by Logan O'Hoppy, Adam Frazier, and Nolan Channiel. But Joe Adele grounded out to kill the threat, and Padres tacked on two more in the ninth, with Lloriano's sack fly, and Tateez's RBI single. Adrienne Morasian picked up the win with a clean one-and-one third innings, while Mason Miller locked down his seventh save despite a hit and a walk. That extended his scoreless streak to 31 and two-thirds innings since last August.
