Padres 3 Singles Not Enough

Wally Joyner might be happy with where the Friars hitters are; however the fan base has seen poor performances like Wednesday's 3-0 loss to the Rockies far too often. San Diego wasted another brilliant start by Chris Young as they fall to 3 games back of the Arizona Diamondbacks, who won in Florida earlier in the day.

The strike zone was interesting all night, but was consistently bad for both sides. The most frustrating at bat of the game was turned in by Mike Cameron who, with the Pads down by 2, swung and missed at ball four on a 3-0 count then popped up to short on the next pitch.

Notes:
Catcher Josh Bard was back to hitting left handed against right handed pitchers - which is curious due to his early success on the last road trip.

Chris Young extended his scoreless inning streak at Petco to 27

The Friars send Clay Hensley to the bump Thursday for the series win.
