Bolstered Padres to begin home set with Marlins
Baseball Betting Lines
07/30/2010 -
(Sportsbook Betting Lines) - A walk-off victory and the acquisition of a six-time All-
Star made Thursday one exciting day for the San Diego Padres.
San Diego will hope Friday is just as good, as it is expected to have
infielder Miguel Tejada available for tonight's opener of a three-game series
against the Florida Marlins, a club that has lost five straight to the Padres.
Owners of a 3 1/2-game lead for first place in the National League West, San
Diego began its Thursday by getting Tejada from the Baltimore Orioles in
exchange for cash considerations and minor league right-hander Wynn Pelzer. A
former American League MVP, the 36-year-old is hitting .269 with seven homers
and 39 RBI in 97 games this year and is expected to play both third base and
shortstop for his new club.
"Hopefully, [Tejada] can come over here to this situation and contribute
somewhere in our lineup," said Padres manager Bud Black.
It is unknown if Tejada will be in the starting lineup tonight.
The good feelings of the bold move made by the Padres front office did not
disappear at game time. Looking to claim victory over the Dodgers in the
rubber match of a three-game series, Oscar Salazar scored Scott Hairston with
a pinch-hit single up the middle with one out to give San Diego a 3-2 victory
and series win over Los Angeles.
Chase Headley and Yorvit Torrealba both knocked in a run for the Padres, who
have won five of their last six games.
Wade LeBlanc will try to extend the momentum tonight after snapping his
personal four-decision losing streak with a victory over Pittsburgh on Sunday.
The Padres left-hander gave up three runs on eight hits over six innings,
improving to 5-8 with a 3.35 earned run average on the season.
LeBlanc, 25, has made one career start versus the Marlins prior, earning a no-
decision on Aug. 29 after yielding four runs in six innings of work.
He won't have to face Jorge Cantu after the Marlins dealt their third baseman
to the Texas Rangers for a pair of pitching prospects. Cantu was hitting .262
on the season with 10 homers and 54 RBI.
He went 2-for-4 and twice in Thursday's 5-0 victory over the San Francisco Giants, then was traded following the contest.
Anibal Sanchez was spectacular versus San Francisco, notching his second
career shutout, a one-hitter that also featured a walk and eight strikeouts.
Sanchez, who engineered a no-hitter back in 2006, gave up a single in the
fifth inning on the way to earning his eighth victory of the season.
"Everything was working for [Sanchez]," said Marlins manager Edwin Rodriguez.
"He had command of all his pitches, so we knew something good was going to
happen today."
Mike Stanton and Ronny Paulino knocked in two runs apiece for the Marlins, who
split this four-game series at AT&T Park and have won 11 of their last 17
games overall to get back to .500 at 51-51.
Florida's Chris Volstad will be seeking his first victory since June 13
tonight, having gone 0-2 with a 6.31 ERA in five starts since. The 23-year-old
made his first start on Sunday since July 6 after a brief demotion to Triple-A
and earned a no-decision versus the Braves, getting charged with three runs on
five hits and three walks over six innings of work.
Volstad is 4-8 with a 4.76 ERA on the season and 1-2 with a 6.14 ERA in three
career meetings with the Padres. The right-hander lost to them on June 25,
allowing three runs on seven hits over six innings while striking out six in
the 3-0 setback.
San Diego's five-game win streak over the Marlins includes a three-game sweep
in Florida from June 25-27. The Fish did win all three meetings in San Diego a
season ago.
