Daily News | Phillies’ offense sputters vs. Padres in first game back from the All-Star break
No. 5 starter Cristopher Sánchez mostly did his part, keeping the Phillies close for five innings. Three defensive lapses proved more annoying than costly. But a built-to-mash lineup stranded nine runners against Padres starter Yu Darvish and three relievers.
“I feel good about our offensive performers. I don’t feel great about our offensive numbers so far,” president of baseball operations Dave Dombrowski said recently. “I feel like we have the capability of doing more.” But the Padres also smashed four mammoth homers that totaled 1,593 feet. In the third inning, Fernando Tatis Jr. launched a 432-footer into the rarely reached second deck in left field against Sánchez. In the eighth, Juan Soto topped him with a 434-footer to right field — and a 32.2-second lap around the bases, the slowest trot of his career.
