Melvin said they&#8217;re giving Hader a &#8220;little break&#8221; and will use a closer by committee for the time being. <\/p>\n<p>San Diego lost to the last place Washington Nationals on Friday (WAS 6, SD 3) after Hader entered the ninth inning of a tie game and failed to retire a batter.  He issued a leadoff walk, made a throwing error on a tapper back to the mound to allow the go-ahead run to score, then served up a two-run homer to rookie Alex Call. <\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/streamable.com\/mlbfilmroom\/00u7pewwuk6hsZdw9356\/josh-hader-meltdown-vs-nationals\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;There&#8217;s always going to be an obstacle in this game that you&#8217;re going to have to go over,&#8221; Hader told MLB.com following the loss.  &#8220;That&#8217;s one of the things right now &#8212; obviously, this obstacle is hitting a little bit harder than most &#8212; but that&#8217;s why we play this game. You&#8217;ve got two options. You can give up and fold, or you can figure it out and move forward.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p>Hader was on the mound when the game-winning run scored in each of his last three appearances, and he&#8217;s allowed six runs in only 3 1\/3 innings with the Padres. <span class=\"link\">His struggles go back much further than the trade deadline<\/span>, however.  Hader has allowed 19 runs and 34 baserunners in his last 12 2\/3 innings dating back to July 1, including six homers. <\/p>\n<p>With Hader moved out of the closer&#8217;s role, the Padres figure to lean primarily on righties Luis Garc\u00eda and Robert Suarez, and lefty Adrian Morejon, in the ninth inning.  Nick Martinez, who has been a revelation since moving into a relief role a few weeks ago, could get save opportunities as well. <\/p>\n<p><span class=\"link\">Acquired from the Milwaukee Brewers for four players at the deadline<\/span>, Hader was an All-Star this season and a deserving one, taking a 1.09 ERA with 41 strikeouts in 24 2\/3 innings into July.  The Padres will be able to retain Hader as an arbitration-eligible player next season.  He is not a rental. <\/p>\n<p>At 66-56, the Padres enter Saturday one game up on the third and final National League wild-card spot.  San Diego is 6-10 since the trade deadline and 25-32 in their last 57 games. <\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\"
