Chris Paddack finished his rookie season the way he started it - with a dominant stretch of appearances.
After another stellar night against the Brewers, the Padres rookie ace is done for 2019.
Paddack gave up one run on one hit (a Lorenzo Cain homer), striking out nine in five innings in Milwaukee. Over the course of his last four starts, Paddack has tossed 23.1 innings, allowing just two runs, with 32 strikeouts.
"I'm gonna sleep well tonight," Paddack said after the game. "I have a lot to reflect on. It's been one heck of a year."
