Blake Snell made his 2022 season debut for the Padres on Wednesday night, after rehabbing an elbow injury and making several rehab starts. Snell pitched 3.2 innings and allowed 3 earned runs on 3 hits and 3 walks while striking out 5. For the second game in a row, the Padres implemented a piggyback strategy, and Nick Martinez was effective, throwing 4 scoreless innings out of the bullpen and striking out 6 Phillies. The Padres weren't able to push any runs home, as Zack Wheeler was in midseason form, pitching 7 shutout innings with 9 strikeouts and no walks. The rubber match between the Phillies and Padres will be Thursday morning at 10:05 am.
