Puig struck out 3 times tonight. Did Tony Gwynn ever strike out 3 times in a game? Fox could’ve mentioned Tony right there. #RIPTony

With the Padres’ lone representative, Huston Street, seeing no playing time on Tuesday, viewers didn’t even get a chance to see the No. 19 patch the team has been wearing since Gwynn’s death.
Street said he was surprised of the omission but didn’t think it was a “purposeful slight.”
“Obviously Tony Gwynn’s a huge part of the game and it would’ve been something cool to see but it didn’t happen,” Street told Yahoo Sports after the game. “I’ve been at six other ballparks around the league where they’ve done one. I don’t think there’s any short of remembrance for Tony.
“It’s Tony Gwynn, right? He’s one of the greatest of all time.”
