Overview
- Christian Scott delivered 5 2/3 scoreless innings on Friday night, allowing three hits and two walks while striking out three and lowering his ERA to 2.50.
- Jared Young and Luis Torrens provided the primary offense with a solo homer and a two‑run shot that built a lead Scott could protect.
- Relievers Huascar Brazobán, Luke Weaver and A.J. Minter combined to finish the shutout, and Weaver extended a string of scoreless appearances.
- Padres starter Michael King took the loss as San Diego’s offense continued a deep slump that has produced very few runs over the club’s recent stretch.
- Scott’s run of sturdy starts follows his return from Tommy John rehab and pitch‑count management, a trend that could change roster and rotation decisions if it continues.
