The Padres hoped the last two weeks of the regular season would give them some clarity on what their playoff pitching rotation would look like. Making his fourth career big league start, Tong tossed 5.0 innings of 1-run ball, somehow striking out eight Padres hitters. It's looking more and more like the Padres will be playing a best-of-three Wild Card series at Wrigley Field against the Cubs. Nick Pivetta is the one guy who's no doubt earned a playoff start. He has two more starts to show he'd be ready to go in a playoff game.
