Clevinger made his season debut May 4 against Cleveland, his first start since 2020, going 4.2 innings allowing three hits and striking out four in his first start since coming back from Tommy John surgery. He faces a Phillies lineup that has scored over four runs in seven consecutive games and has the second-best batting average in the NL (.256), featuring right fielder Bryce Harper and second baseman Jean Segura, and third baseman Alec Bohm all hitting over .305.
Since signing Manny Machado before the 2019 season, the Padres have been a late-inning team, scoring a combined 837 runs from the sixth through the ninth innings once the star third baseman came aboard. The Padres have scored 22 runs in the final four innings of their most recent seven games this season.
