Blake Snell’s Friday night start was rather ordinary \u2014 five innings, three runs and a no-decision. What made it noteworthy is that the Padres’ southpaw was able to pitch at all.<\/p>\n

The night before, Snell’s vehicle was hit by another car, according to the San Diego Union-Tribune.<\/p>\n

Snell wasn’t fortunately not hurt by what was a suspected drunk driver Thursday night on Interstate 5. The car hit the driver’s side of Snell’s car around 11 pm at a traffic stop.<\/p>\n

\u201cPhysically, he’s fine,\u201d Padres manager Bob Melvin said before Friday’s loss to the Nationals. \u201cBut that can shake you up a little bit. But our guys checked him out today. And we’ve talked to him. And he’s ready to pitch. So I think we probably got lucky.\u201d<\/p>\n

While Snell, a former Cy Young award winner while with the Rays, has had a mostly disappointing season, he is currently pitching much better, lowering his ERA to 3.76 after his latest outing.<\/p>\n

He’s given up just six earned runs in his last 33.2 innings. He’s also helped the Padres maintain playoff position, a game ahead of the Brewers for the last NL wild card. <\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
