On a stadium that just opened last year and where the Rays-Dodgers World Series was played, right-hander Joe Musgrove made history again in that building, but more than anything in the organization San Diego Padresas he launched the first game without history and without running in history of the team and is also the first of the 2021 MLB season.
Musgrove, 28, doubled as the Texas Rangers at Globe Life Field with 27,575 fans. The El Cajon, California-born right-hander threw all nine innings and hit 10 shots for the Texans, who couldn’t even beat their hands and looked like tame little lambs:
Joe Musgrove, 1.96 meters tall, faced 28 strokes and made 112 pitches (77 strikes). He got 10 outs through a grounder on the field and only three on a ball. A pitch at the bottom of the fourth half by right-hander Joey Gallo deprived Musgrove of a perfect game. Gallo was the only one to reach the base of the game for the Rangers.
Anderson Tejeda was Musgrove’s main client with three shots; They were followed by Isiah Kiner-Falefa, Gallo, Nate Lowe, Nick Solak, Ronald Guzmán, Jose Treviño and Eli White. Only David Dahl, who hit her, and the ninth Cuban bully, Leody Taveras, did not break out.

Musgrove, who is in his first season with the Padres, set a record of 2-0 and the most impressive thing is that his ERA remains at 0.00, as he did not allow a run in 15 innings with only three shots allowed and 18 shots.
