I know tonight is the last night of August, but I'm hoping Kevin Corriea pitches like it's September.Last September/October, Kevin sparkled on the mound. He started 6 games, won 3, and posted a 1.71 ERA. He threw 42.1 innings, including a complete-game shutout at Arizona. His strikeout-to-walk ratio was a respectable 4.71, and hitters only batted .228 against him.
He was, in a word, an ace.
Frankly, if the Padres are going to hold the Giants and Rockies at bay, they're going to need Kevin to approach his performance from last September.
Six weeks ago, on July 18, Kevin pitched against the same team he'll face tonight, the Diamondbacks, in the same park he'll play in tonight, Petco Park. He went 6 innings, gave up 3 runs, and K'd 9.
Let's do that again, Kev.
[Update: Needless to say I had this wrong. The game was not at Petco, it was in Phoenix. And the game was gross.]
