The Padres lost the second and final game of their series against the Mariners 6-1 on Wednesday, as Mike Clevinger's struggles continued. Clevinger had a 9.72 ERA over two starts in the month of September entering Wednesday's start, and allowed 6 earned runs in 5 innings, including first inning home runs to Julio Rodriguez and Eugenio Suarez, giving Seattle a 3-0 lead right off the bat. Carlos Santana's 3-run blast in the 5th put this game well out of reach. The Padres will now head to Arizona for a 4-game series against the Diamondbacks. Sean Manaea is scheduled to return to the rotation in Game 1 on Thursday at 6:40.
