Padres 4 Hit Again, Webb Downs Germano

The Padres managed 4 or fewer hits for the fifteenth time in the 2007 campaign Tuesday night, losing to Brandon Webb and the Diamondbacks 4-0 on a pair of 2 run home runs. Justin Germano allowed 4 hits to go with a walk and 7 strikeouts over 5 innings. It was his sixth loss in his last 7 decisions. Clay Hensley pitched 3 very strong innings in relief with Jim Thatcher and Kevin Cameron closing out the ninth on a pair of strikeouts. From an offensive perspective, the Padres string of luck against reigning Cy Young winning Webb came to end. The lone offensive bright spot was Milton Bradley, who collected 2 hits and a walk to complement a stolen base. By going 0-4 with a strikeout, Adrian Gonzalez saw his 8 game hitting streak come to an end. The two teams are back at it again Wednesday with Micah Owings dueling against Point Loma High School alumni David Wells.
