Clayton Richard threw 6 shutout innings and Nick Hundley crushed a 3 run shot to lead the San Diego Padres to their first win over the St Louis Cardinals in 10 tries.
Richard allowed just 5 hits and 3 walks while striking outing 6 and lowered his ERA as a Padre to 3.67 to claim the win, his third straight decision.
After Albert Pujols narrowly missed catching a foul ball to shallow RF off Nick Hundley's bat in the 2nd, Hundley drove a pitch deep to LF to drive in Will Venable and Kyle Blanks. Kevin Kouzmanoff drove in Tony Gwynn with a single to center field in the 8th to pad the lead.
The Padres bullpen threw 3 perfect innings to preserve the win for Richard.

Hundley up, Alfonzo down
Wednesday August 12, 2009
Catcher Nick Hundley was taken off the DL and recalled to San Diego.
Hundley had been on the 15 day DL since June 18th with a contusion on his left wrist after being hit by a pitch by Dodgers pitcher Chad Billingsley on June 9th.
Hundley's .234 should be a boost for the Padres whose catching corp has hit just .201 since he went on the DL.
Eliezer Alfonzo, who has hit just .182/.204/.264/.467 since being called up June 19th, was opioned to AAA Portland.

Headley gets a shot at 3rd and blows it
Wednesday July 1, 2009
Chase Headley, the Padres current LF and a former 3B in the minors, got a shot to play 3B against RH pitcher Brian Moehler of the Houston Astros tonight.
He responded by playing extremely poor defense and going o for 3 at the plate. He misplayed a ball that was scored a hit and then threw the ball away with 2 outs in the 4th on a play that resulted in 3 unearned runs scoring.
I would guess Kevin Kouzmanoff will get the starts at 3B from now on unless he is traded.
Walter Silva took the loss while giving up 3 earned runs on 4 hits and 1 walk in 4 innings pitched. Silva has proven to be totally ineffective in his 1st two starts since returning from the disabled list. Lets hope its his last start of the season.
In other Padres news:
Kevin Towers says Peavy will likely not return until September if at all this season.
Nick Hundley's wrist is fractured and he will not return for at least 3 more weeks.
Brian Giles knee is not responding to treatment and he will not return before the All Star break.
We all wish Venable was hurt or sent down because he stinks.

TEN in a Row! Padres win again!
Monday May 25, 2009
On this day set aside so we can show our appreciation for the brave men and women who served in the military to keep our country safe and free, the San Diego Padres fought back from a 7-1 deficit in the 5th inning to post a 9-7 win over the Arizona Diamondbacks.
Starting pitcher Chad Gaudin's struggles with control continued as he gave up 5 hits and 5 walks while allowing 7 earned runs in 5 1/3 innings.
In my opinion, Gaudin's control went away when he shaved the squirrell off his chin.
Adrian Gonzalez hit his league leading 17th home run in the 4th inning for the Padres 1st run.
The Padres plated 5 runs in the 8th and 1 in the 9th to tie the game at 7-7, then Chase Headley hit a 420 foot blast to left field with Henry Blanco on 1st base to drive in the go ahead runs.
Heath Bell came in to shut the Diamondbacks down for his 13th save of the season.
Catcher Nick Hundley and manager Bud Black were thrown out of the game by home plate umpire Eric Cooper on a disputed call at the plate in the 6th inning. Cooper blew the play, but it didn't matter as the Padres pummelled the Diamondbacks in the late innings.
Take a litle sip of the kool aid folks, the Padres are now 23-22 on the season.
And today the Padres win their tenth game in a row!

Padres start a winning streak!
Sunday May 17, 2009
Nick Hundley crushed a walk off home run to the upper deck in left field in the bottom of the 16th inning to give the San Diego Padres 6-5 win tonight over the Cincinnati Reds.
Yes you read that right, 16th inning. The game lasted 5 hours and 14 minutes.
Giles led off the game with a home run to RF and the Padres used nearly every player on the on the team by the time this one was over 16 innings later.
22 of the Padres 25 players were used and when the game ended, the Padres had just Jake Peavy, Chris Young and Chad Gaudin available to pitch OR hit in pitchers spot in the 17th.
Starter Josh Geer went 5 2/3 innings and gave up 5 runs on 2 huge home runs. The much maligned Padres bullpen then held the Reds scoreless for 10 1/3 innings.
Luis Perdomo went 3 innings and to get his first career win.
For the Reds, Starter Edinson Volquez and loser Micah Owings both went 5 2/3 innings each to sandwich 5 Reds relievers.
The Padres had not won two games in a row since April 18th. It was also the last time the Padres swept a series. can they do it again tomorrow?
The Padres have started a winning streak!
