NEW YORK — There was more champagne. There will be more baseball.
Joe Musgrove, the lifelong Padres fan and now one of the team’s starting pitchers and voices and leaders, became the first pitcher in major league history to pitch seven innings while allowing fewer than two hits in a win-or-go-home game. Along the way, he endured the indignity of having his ears rubbed in front of some 40,000 people and a national television audience.
Trent Grisham kept hitting and making plays in the field.
