Padres Struggle with Baserunning | San Diego Padres News

The Padres stumbled to a 2-1 loss in their series opener against the Mets, undone by chaotic baserunning that led to four outs at home plate in just the first two innings — three of them outfield assists.

Mets pitcher Nolan McLean settled in for six strong innings, while Walker Buehler delivered another solid outing, striking out four and giving up just two runs.
