We like to start our day searching the web and reading articles about our beloved LA sports teams. For this edition, let’s dive into the news surrounding the San Diego Padres.
Below is an excerpt of the recap of their game against the Cincinnati Reds:
“Padres starter Andrew Cashner was very generous in the hit department and in the first inning, Cincinnati batters got to him early, scoring 3 runs. Zack Cozart belted a homer to left, in the third to push the lead to four. Cashner managed to get through until the 5th inning, on 94 pitches. Matt Kemp, got the Padres on the board, with a home run to right center, his 11th of the season. The turning point of the game was the seventh inning grand slam, by Yonder Alonso, off of Reds reliever Tony Cingrani, to tie the game at 7-7. The Padres added more runs in the top of the eight, that gave them the lead for good.
The two big guns in the Padres bullpen, Joaquin Benoit and Craig Kimbrel, came on in the 8th & 9th innings respectively, to shut down the Reds and their hopes for a comeback.”

The Padres re-activated Melvin Upton Jr., as reported by ESPN.com:
“The San Diego Padres activated outfielder Melvin Upton Jr. from the 15-day disabled list and sent outfielder Abraham Almonte to Triple-A El Paso after Sunday’s loss to Cincinnati.
Upton will join brother Justin on the Padres. He’ll be ready to play Monday night in Atlanta — he was traded by the Braves to San Diego with closer Craig Kimbrel in a multiplayer deal on April 5.
Upton has been sidelined by an injured left foot.”
