How do you make fans forget about blowing an 8-run lead the night before? How about blasting a grand slam! After Yan Gomes crushed a solo homer in the fifth inning, Padres starter Joe Musgrove ran into more trouble by walking Ian Happ, giving up a third hit to Seiya Suzuki and then hitting Cody Bellinger.
