Morejon’s Workload Powers Padres Comeback | San Diego Padres News

The Padres pulled off a stunning comeback, rallying from a three-run deficit in the eighth to win 5-4 over the Nationals, thanks to Adrian Morejon’s dominant ninth-inning save. With his third save of the year and over 78 innings already logged — more than ever in his career — Morejon continues to carry the bullpen with elite efficiency, keeping his ERA under 3.00 while striking out batters with his nasty 99 mph sinker and devastating changeup, especially against righties. His consistency since May — including a stellar August where he allowed just one run in 16 innings — has made him indispensable as the Padres fight for a playoff spot, just half a game out. Even with back-to-back outings, the team trusts him to deliver when it matters most. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
