NL Cy Young Award contender Blake Snell lowered his big league-leading ERA to 2.33 and struck out 10 in seven brilliant innings for the San Diego Padres, who took a combined no-hitter into the ninth before beating the Colorado Rockies 2-0 on Tuesday night.
Blake Snell - The Canadian PressSAN DIEGO — If this was Blake Snell's final start for the San Diego Padres at Petco Park, it sure was a memorable one.
San Diego manager Bob Melvin said it wasn’t a difficult decision to take out Snell after seven innings. “It's just going to be a lot of pitches,” Snell said when asked if he had wanted to go longer."I’m a guy that understands my body really well and understands the risk-reward of injury with pushing it. With how hard I was throwing today, it’s not worth it.
“Got to finish the season," he said when asked how Tuesday night's start might help his cause."I don't look at that. I've got my next start against San Fran. I've got to be ready for that and they're a good team and they've got a lot to play for.” The Padres are 5 1/2 games out of the third NL wild-card spot, with four teams ahead of them and only 10 games left.
