Snell continues Cy Yung quest with another quality start, working around hard-hit balls to allow two runs in six innings; Bogaerts, Grisham homer
The Padres on Friday night did what they occasionally do and put together the kind of offensive night that for a time this season seemed promising and significant.
It was Snell’s sixth consecutive quality start and the 20th consecutive start in which he has allowed no more than three runs. By faring well against two offenses ranked in the top six in OPS and top five in runs scored, Snell can perhaps separate himself from the other contenders in the Cy Young race.
The start to Friday’s game seemed to hint at a different outcome For Snell, who entered the game with the seventh-lowest hard-hit rate allowed in the major leagues and was hit hard right away. Snell settled into the outing at that point, striking out five straight at the end of a streak of eight consecutive batters retired between the first and third innings.
