Padres rookie CJ Abrams' two-run double was just his second hit off a breaking pitch in the majors this season
Before Nabil Crismatt allowed the go-ahead homer to Kyle Schwarber, CJ Abrams stood to be the hero on a day in which the Padres were playing with a two-man bench: the light-hitting Sergio Alcántara and the hobbling Luke Voit.
Abrams was hitting .314/.364/.507 with seven homers while getting everyday at-bats with the Chihuahuas, something the Padres could not give him when they sent him to the Pacific Coast League last month. “At times in the season, you’re going to have to do that,” Melvin said of navigating the two-man bench. We certainly aren’t going to put Manny on the IL. It was certainly too premature to put Grish on the IL, so you just have to do it. And today’s game, we still have a really good chance to win the game.
Snell and Harper exchanged texts after the game. The two first played together in a travel ball tournament in Riverside.
