SAN DIEGO — Six games. Just six games left.
For the few yellow and even red flags that have popped up early in the most-anticipated season in franchise history, the silver lining in a 4-3 loss to Milwaukee in 10 innings on Thursday, even after Trent Grisham’s game-tying homer in the eighth, is Fernando Tatis Jr.’s final countdown has begun.
Come next Thursday, Tatis will rejoin a team that’s managed just four quality starts, been hit-and-miss so far at the plate and still wound up winning more games than they lost on the road against the NL East favorites.
