Adrian Morejon Locks Down Save No. 2
Adrian Morejon pitched a clean ninth inning to close out a 1-0 shutout against the Nationals on Wednesday. Morejon was filling in for Robert Suarez, who was serving the first game of his two-game suspension. Jason Adam threw 27 pitches on Tuesday while Morejon only threw 16, so he was the fresher of the two fill-in options. Morejon has been a workhorse lately with 13 appearances already this month, but he has been very effective, not giving up a run in those 13 games with 13 strikeouts and two holds in 12 innings. Morejon will continue to be a top option at the end of the Padres' bullpen, but Suarez is expected to return to his role as the top closer when he finishes his suspension.
