SD cruises as Lyles flirts with perfection
Jordan Lyles wasn’t perfect on Tuesday afternoon against his old club, but he was pretty darn close. The 27-year-old right-hander came five outs shy of etching his name into the Padres’ record books before Trevor Story broke up his bid at a perfect game with a line-drive single into left field. When the ball dropped in front of Franchy Cordero, the Padres — who won, 4-0 — had reached 7,858 games in franchise history without a no-hitter.
