PHILADELPHIA — The Padres practically flaunted their abundance of starting pitching in everyone’s face Tuesday night.
Mike Clevinger pitched five scoreless innings before being replaced by rookie MacKenzie Gore, who added on three scoreless innings in his first professional relief appearance.
That got the game to Taylor Rogers, who moved into a tie for the major league lead with his 14th save by closing out a 3-0 victory over the Phillies in the opener of a three-game series at Citizens Bank Park.
