August 21, 2022 (San Diego) – The series with the Nationals finally wraps up today and the Padres have a chance to split. Ex-Diamondback Patrick Corbin starts for Washington against Sean Manaea.
Nelson Cruz broke the tie in the fourth with a solo homer and the Nats led 1-0 after four.
But Josh Bell saved the day again in the sixth with a two-run homer to deep right and the Padres split the series with an easy 2-1 win.
UP NEXT
The Padres have an easy week ahead; day off tomorrow before the Guardians come to town for a two-game interleague series and a day off Thursday. Game one on Tuesday is at 6:40 p.m. and will be MLB.tv’s free game of the day. Aaron Civale starts for Cleveland against Mike Clevinger.

Are the Padres’ ridiculous cammie uniforms for a special occasion or will they stay? With all that camouflage they’re difficult to see. :-}
