Padres' Christian Friedrich: Loses Thursday after quality start
Friedrich suffered his 11th loss of the season Thursday versus the Giants, allowing two runs on three hits and three walks while striking out six across seven innings.
Analysis:
The lefty turned in one of his better outings of the season Thursday, but he took a hard-luck loss as Jeff Samardzija tossed a gem on the other side. Friedrich has alternated strong home starts with poor away starts over his last four trips to the mound, and he will look to finish the regular season on a high note as the Padres host the Dodgers on Thursday.
