It's obvious the San
Diego Padres would be bad this season, but it wasn’t expected of them to discover
historic ways to lose games. The team accomplished just that during Tuesday’s 16-0 blowout loss against the
Minnesota Twins.

Padres pitchers
allowed the Twins to hit at least one home run in each of the first seven
innings, something that’s never happened before in the history of the game.
So … uh … yeah. We
don’t know whether to call this a record, or just a historical event? It’s a
fun fact, maybe? There are a lot of qualifiers there, though.
It’s just oddly specific. “The Padres became the first team in
Major League Baseball history to allow a home run in each of the first seven
innings of a game.” Sounds awful wordy, doesn’t it?
Still, it’s fun to see
something that has never happened before. And it also gives you an idea of how
bad the Padres are this season. The performance actually tied a franchise
record for most home runs allowed in a game.
If you’re looking
for a positive, you can say the team got its act together in the eighth and
ninth, at least?
You may also note that we could have gone with the positive
“Twins set MLB record with seven home run in the first seven innings” as our
headline, but we enjoy feeding into those of you who crave negativity.
That, and the Padres haven’t exactly found a lot of ways to get themselves in
the headlines this season.
