Nice pitching after the leadoff walk.

Having the old Abreu back would be a welcome development.

Tonight’s game balls go to Christian Walker and these delicious daiquiris.

The Padres TV crew is pretty good. Before the game last night, they pointed out that the Tucker trade brought the Astros three players with a total of 14 years control. Way too soon, but the early returns indicate that this trade could be one of the all-time best. Tucker has followed Springer, Correa, Cole et al into that just another baseball player category.

Those other guys weren’t traded, at least we got something from what looks to be a career year for Tucker.
