Game Wrap 7/31/2026: Padres 7 Giants 0

The Padres rolled out a weird bullpen/opener pitching configuration in which their apparent starting pitcher entered the game in the 5'th inning.  I'm not sure why these schemes seem to work for other teams and not the Giants but their lineup was shut down, as it two hits all game, one from the leadoff batter and one from the 9'th batter.  

Carson Whisenhunt LHP had poor command of a below average fastball and got smacked around by a Padres lineup that can still do some damage.  Adrian Houser allowed just 1 run in 4.2 innings of relief and seems ready to move back into the rotation depending on how the trade deadline plays out.

Not much more to say about this one, folks! At least I didn't waste an evening watching it because it was streamed on Apple TV.  

Tyler Mahle RHP is the listed starter for this evening's game facing Walker Buehler RHP who comes in with an ERA of 5.13.

 Oh, and I completed 70 revolutions around the Sun today.  Hope to have a few more.
