None of that mattered much once the Padres got rolling. They scored in 4 different innings and never let Cleveland's offense find any rhythm against a pitching staff that had already given up 6 runs to this same Guardians club less than 24 hours earlier.
The final line: 10 hits and zero errors for San Diego against 3 hits and zero errors for Cleveland, a shutout built on runs in the 2nd, 4th, 8th and 9th innings. Cleveland's lineup, already down DeLauter, simply couldn't scratch anything together against a Padres pitching staff working with a comfortable cushion most of the afternoon.
San Diego took this series 2 games to 1, avenging Saturday's 1-6 loss by shutting the door on Sunday. It's the kind of response that fits a Padres club that had won 4 of its previous 5 before that one hiccup against this same Cleveland team.
For Cleveland, the finale capped a rough stretch that saw them go just 2-3 over their last 5 games heading in, and the injury news around DeLauter and Holderman only adds to the workload for a bullpen that's already without Shawn Armstrong for the year. Bibee and the Guardians will need to find answers before their next series, because a 60-64 record doesn't leave much room for shutout losses like this one.
