Padres Notes: Dominant Win Over Nationals, All-Star Snubs, Potential Trade Deadline Activity

The Padres took it to the Nationals in their 13-3 win Friday night.

San Diego unleashed a 15-hit, 3-home run performance against the Washington Nationals en route to a 13-3 victory Friday night.

Ha-Seong Kim, Juan Soto, and Xander Bogaerts all homered while Fernando Tatis Jr. went 3-4 from the plate with a walk. Musgrove added another solid start to his resumé with 6 hits and only 1 ER across 7 innings.

In other news, MLB scouts predict that the Padres will be buyers as the trade deadline approaches. Given their talented and expensive roster, it makes sense that San Diego refuses to fold after a slow first half of the season.
