Drinos 3, Brew Crew 2

That was one heck of a 7th inning yesterday. Sheets is shutting down the Drinos with 6 innings of 1 hit ball when, out of nowhere, the Drinos go single, double, single, sinking sac fly (nice baserunning by Chase to score on that), near bomb fly out by Edgar (another nice catch by Cameron on that) and single. All that plated 3 runs and then, on a passed ball, Gerut gets home and clearly slaps a hand on the plate but the ump doesn't see it and calls him out when Kendall tags him just as Jody is about to walk into the dugout.

All year long that's the kind of break that's gone against the Drinos but yesterday, despite another mash by Cameron (this time off Trevor in the 9th), the Padres hung on to win. Of course it was all set up by a great outing by Peavy to keep the Drinos close and in a position to win in the later innings.

And tonight the Phils are in town to start a three game weekend series. The real question though is whether the Padres are going to sign Dykstra.

If I was a betting man I'd say no.
