The San Diego Padres only gave up two hits the entire night to the Colorado Rockies as they defeated the Rockies 6-0.  Randy Wolf flirted with a no-hitter but eventually eventually gave up a hit after 6.2 innings.  Kevin Cameron gave up one more hit in the final two innings, but by then the Rockies had already more less given up.

Wolf pitched seven innings to pick up his first win of the season.  Wolf did walk four batters but also struckout nine batters while only allowing the one hit. Cameron did a good deal coming in and pitching the last two inning and only allowing one hit as well.

Brian Giles, Kevin Kouzmanoff, and Jim Edmonds all had two RBI each for the Padres.  All the Padres scoring came in the 5th inning.

The San Diego Padres and San Francisco Giants battled all night long to a 0-0 tie until the bottom of the 9th inning when the Giants finally scored the first and last run of the game.  Daniel Ortmeier hit a double that scored Rajai Davis for the winning run.  Heath Bell took the loss after giving up the double.

The Padres were only able to scrap together four hits the entire game.  I would have expected a lot better outcome considering how bad the Giants pitching staff has been this year.  What a disappointing performance.

Justin Germano pitched seven inning of shutout ball to get the no decision.  He pitched well enough to win, the offense just didn’t score any runs to give him some support.  Tough luck for Germano.

The San Diego Padres lost Tuesday night to the San Francisco Giants in 11 innings.  Bengie Molina hit a game winning homerun off of Cla Meredith in the 11th inning as the Giants beat the Padres 3-2.  It was Molina’s second homerun of the game.

Padres starting pitcher Randy Wolf didn’t pitch too badly.  Wolf pitched six innings and gave up five hits and two earned runs.  Joe Thatcher and Heath Bell both pitched two innings without allowing a run.  Merideth was the one out of the bullpen to give up the one run, that cost them the ballgame.

The Padres didn’t have much offense on Tuesday night as well.  Khalil Green hit a into a fielder choice in the 6th inning that scored Adrian Gonzalez and Brian Giles hit a sac fly in the ninth inning that scored Colt Morton that tied the game to send it into extra innings.

Adrian Gonzalez went 4-5 with a homerun, two RBI’s, and four runs scored to lead the San Diego Padres past the SanFrancisco Giants by the score of 8-4.  Gonzalez and the Padres jumped all over Giants starter Matt Cain and they never looked back.

Greg Maddux picked up his first win of the season and the 348th career victory.  Maddux pitched seven innings and only allowed three hits and one earned run.  Great performance by Maddux today!

Khalil Greene contributed with three RBI and Jim Edmonds wasn’t too far behind with two RBI.  Nice balanced offense today between Gonzalez, Greene, and Edmonds.

The San Diego Padres had hardly any offense and the Padres pitchers pitched terrible in the late innings  in a 7-1 loss on Friday night.  The Padres didn’t didn’t how to hit Hiroki Kuroda who was making his first major league start and it showed as the only run they got off of him was a solo homerun by Brian Giles.

Joe Thatcher picked up the loss for the Padres as he allowed four earned runs in the seventh inning when Dodgers scored six runs in the inning.  Glendon Rusch didn’t help out either as he was accounted for two earned runs.

You can sum it all up in the seventh inning pretty much.  Had Thatcher got the Padres through the inning without giving up any runs, the Padres would have had a good shot at winning the game.  Now they will try to even the series up on Saturday.

The San Diego Padres beat the Houston Astros on Thursday to improve their record to 3-1 on the young season.  It was a two run homerun by Kevin Kouzmanoff that was the big hit of the ballgame.   When Kouzmanoff hit his homerun, it gave the Padres a one run lead in the first inning.

The Astros did battle back to tie up the ballgame in the 7th inning, Tadahito Iguchi singled in Scott Hairston for the go ahead and winning run.

Randy Wolf pitched six strong innings for the Padres.  He only allowed four hits, one earned run, and had five strikeouts.

Trevor Hoffman was able to secure his second save of the season.  It was nice to see after he blew the save on Wednesday.
