The San Diego Padres put a big whooping on the Florida Marlins Tuesday night as they tied the series up at 1-1 with a 10-1 victory.  It was a good game all the way around for the Padres as they hammered the Marlins pitching staff and got some good pitching from their own pitchers.

The Padres got all over the Marlins starting pitcher Andrew Miller for four runs and then hammered the bullpen for six more runs.  Chase Headley lead the team with four rbi while Scott Hairston had a three run home run to finish with three rbi.  Luis Rodriguez, Nick Hundley, and Brian Myrow all chipped in with one rbi each as well.

Randy Wolf pitched seven innings while giving up five hits and one run to pick up the win.  Wolf’s only mistake in the game came in the first inning when he gave up a solo home run to Jeremy Hermida.  Wolf is now 6-8 on the season with a 4.38 era.

Joe Thatcher pitched the eighth inning and then Cla Meredith pitched a scoreless ninth inning to finish off the Marlins.

The Padres will try to win the series with another victory on Wednesday.  Padres Blog

After have a big offensive performance on Monday night, the San Diego Padres couldn’t hit the ball on Tuesday night as they were shut out by the Colorado Rockies and lost 4-0.  Aaron Cook pretty much dominated the Padres as he tossed a complete game five hitter against them.  The Padres and Rockies will now play a rubber match on Wednesday afternoon to see who will win the three game series.

Josh Banks took the loss and fell to 2-3 on the season.  Banks was pitching really good until the fifth inning when he gave up four runs.  An error by shortstop Khalil Greene didn’t help him out by any means in the fifth inning though.  Clay Hensley threw two innings of relief before Cla Meredith pitched the eighth inning.

As for the Padres offense, there really isn’t a whole lot to blog about to be honest.  Cook limited them to only five hits in the game and they were not able to score any runs.  The offense took zero walks and struck out four times while leaving nine runners on base.

The San Diego Padres ran into a hot playing Minnesota Twins team and lost 4-3 on Thursday afternoon.  With the 4-3 loss the Padres were swept away in the series and are now 32-48 on the season.  The Padres just can’t come up with the big hit and get the runs that they need to to win some of these close games.

Josh Banks piched 5 1/3 innings and gave up seven hits and four runs to take the loss.  Banks is now 2-2 on the season.  Bryan Corey, Justin Hampson, and Cla Meredith all did a great job pitching in relief of Banks.  The three relief pitchers did not allow one run to cross the plate and atleast kept the Padres in the game.

The Padres just couldn’t get the big hit that they needed to late in the game.  We sure have been seeing that a lot from the Padres hitters.  Khalil Greene hit his eighth home run of the season in the second inning to put the Padres up 1-0.  In the third inning, Brian Giles had a rbi sac fly and then Jody Gerut later scored on an error to put the Padres up 3-0.  Too bad that they couldn’t hold onto that lead as the Twins came back with four unanswered runs in the game to pull out the win.

The Padres will now play the Seattle Mariners this weekend in a three game series.

The San Diego Padres couldn’t get much going against the Minnesota Twins as they lsot 9-3 on Wednesday night and will now have to win on Thursday to avoid the three game sweep in the series.  The Padres had eight hits in the game compared to the Twins nine hits but the Padres were never able to get the big hits like the Twins did to score some runs.

Greg Maddux pitched the first 5 2/3 innings but gave up seven hits and seven runs.  Six of those seven runs were earned.  Maddux struck out three batters, walked two, and gave up one home run.  Maddux fell to 3-6 after taking the loss.

The Padres bullpen was pitching good until Mike Adams gave up two runs in the eighth inning on a Craigh Monroe home run.  Other then that, Carlos Guevara, Cla Meredith, and Justin Hampson pitched well out of the bullpen.

The Padres scored all three of their runs in the first two innings of the game and then were held scoreless the final seven innings.  Adrian Gonzalez grounded into a fielders choice but his little brother Edwin Gonzalez scored on the play in the first inning.  Later in the first inning, Kevin Kouzmanoff tripled and A. Gonzalez scored.  In the second inning Scott Hairston doubled and Michael Barrett scored for the Padres third and final run.

Joe Thatcher took the loss for the Padres as he gave up three his and a run in the bottom of the ninth inning.  Thatcher is now 0-4 on the season and needs to start throwing the ball better before he sees his butt on the bench for every game.
