The San Diego Padres, in stunning form, maintained a gap with the second-place San Francisco Giants amid ace Michael King (29)'s first shutout effort.

San Diego had a home game against the Colorado Rockies at Petco Park in San Diego, California on the 14th (Korea time).

As the starting pitcher of the San Diego Padres on the day, King threw as many as 110 pitches (69 strikes) during nine innings, and pitched a complete game of shutout with eight strikeouts and two hits. He had only one walk.

As a result, King enjoyed his first complete game in 150 games (53 starts) and seven years since his Major League debut. He also had a complete game in two years after switching to a starting pitcher.

The San Diego Padres won the game 6-0, thanks to King's performance. The San Diego Padres gave King stable scoring support by scoring four times in the first inning alone against Kyle Freeland.

He allowed two short hits and one walk. There was no critical situation for King. In the final ninth inning, he ended the game with a double play after a hit with one out.

As a result, King pitched 22 1/3 innings in four games this season, recording three wins and no losses with an earned run average of 2.42. He had 24 strikeouts.

Earlier, King was relatively bad with 5 innings on the 2nd and 5 2/3 innings on the 8th, following the opening 22/3 innings, but he pitched his best in the game. 스포츠토토

King is a right-handed starter who will become a free agent after this season. He completely switched to starting pitcher with 2.95 ERA in 31 games last year.

If King continues his first shutout in the second season after switching to the starting lineup, he can aim for a super-jackpot contract.
