Venable's Amazing Catch And Other Extra Inning Magic Give Padres 3rd Place In NL West

Gaslamp Ball — There were some semi-goats in this game with all the runners left on base, but fortunately there were some heroes too. The first one was Edinson Volquez who pitch 4 very good innings, but did leave the Padres with a 3-1 deficit due to his one bad one. That original run was also partly his doing as he doubled and later scored on a Denorfia double. Mulithit games from Chris Denorfia, Chase Headley, Logan Forsythe and Pedro Ciriaco all contributed to the Padres eventually scrapping together 3 runs and tying the game to force extra innings. The bullpen efforts of Tim Stauffer, Joe Thatcher...

Padres 5, Braves 3: Tomahawk Stop

Gaslamp Ball — Sentences you don't expect to write, but are always happy to: Edinson Volquez was a force to be reckoned with today. In seven innings, he allowed just one run on 6 hits and 3 walks, while striking out 9. He was backed up by some solid offense and phenomenal defense. With this sweep, the Padres are now just two games under .500 and could possibly be just four games out of first place at the end of the night. The Padres got things started off right in the bottom of the first. Everth Cabrera drew a leadoff walk and then moved to second on a Chase Headley single. Then Carlos Quentin reache...

06/12 Padres Preview: Game 66 vs. Atlanta

Gaslamp BallEdinson Volquez hasn't been the sharpest tool in the Padres pitching shed this season. But today he'll get the chance to lead the team to a sweep over the NL-East-leading Atlanta Braves, a feat that would (at least temporarily) let him win back the hearts of San Diegans. He's coming off a disastrous start in Colorado over the weekend. In only 2 1/3 innings, he threw 63 pitches and gave up nine runs on eleven hits. Today he'll have the comfort of pitching in the (still) pitcher-friendly Petco Park as opposed to the hitter's delight that is Coors Field. He's pitched slightly better at ho...

Blue Jays 7, Padres 4: Offense Rests On Laurels After Volquez Home Run

Gaslamp Ball — After Edinson Volquez put the Padres on top with a three run homer, I expected the rest of the lineup to follow suit. They must have run in the marathon this morning, because all I saw was a bunch of weakly hit balls and sad strikeouts. 2nd Inning Once again, the Jays scored first, with Adam Lind scoring from first base on a Colby Rasmus double. The Padres refused to let that stand and tied it back up when Jedd Gyorko's RBI double scored Yasmani Grandal. With two outs and Volquez on deck, Will Venable was intentionally walked. Padres fans swore and got up to grab another beer. And then...

Padres Game 56 Preview: Volquez v. Ortiz

Gaslamp Ball — After last night's win, the Padres are tied 4-4 in the all-time series against Toronto. They'll be going for the lead with Edinson Volquez on the hill opposing Ramon Ortiz.

He has gotten into six games, three of which were starts, with the Blue Jays this season after spending all of last season in AAA. He has given up an earned run in all of his appearances, culminating in a 1-2 record and 5.01 E...
