We had a pitchers duel last night at PETCO Park, as we watched 17 frames of baseball go by without a single run. A grand total of 12 hits between two ball clubs were recorded. Three of those hits came from Yorvit Torrealba who was 3-3 with 1 HR, 3 RBI and 1 run. That one homerun was a walk-off shot off of Sergio Romo in the bottom of the 9th which evened out the series with the Giants.
Roy Oswalt was dealing, he went 8 innings while allowing 5 hits and 2 walks while striking out 4. His counterpart Bobby Cramer went 6 innings and allowed 3 hits and 3 walks while striking out 3. Brian Wilson and Santiago Casilla both pitched scoreless innings of relief for the Giants, but Romo was handed the loss after failing to record an out in the 9th.
Padres Notes...Josh Spence got the win after pitching a scoreless top of the 9th. He is 1-0...Joel Pineiro was placed on the 15-Day DL with what the Padres are calling "dead arm". He will rest for 15 days before resuming to throw, most likely in a couple rehab games...Craig Stammen was recalled to take Pineiro place on the active roster. He will start tomorrows game...Draft Results can be found on Page 8.
