C. Young (9-3) - 7.0 IP 2 H 0 ER 3 BB 6 K 1.85 ERA. 116 pitches, 77 strikes.
Chris Young outperformed fellow All-Star Cole Hamels by the slimmest of margins on Thursday night in San Diego. Young pitched seven innings of two-hit shutout baseball as the Padres took the first game of their series with Philadelphia 1-0. Young has started all five of the games this season that San Diego has won with just a single run.
Faced with the same decision he had the last time Young was on the mound, manager Bud Black decided to leave Young in for the seventh inning despite a pitch count in the high nineties. Young struck out two and retired the side in order in the seventh, his 116th pitch a lazy fly ball to left field.
Will Venable was 2-4 a double and a run scored in San Antonio's 9-5 win over Frisco. The Missions are 16-9 in the second half of the season, with a 2.5 game first place lead.
