OK, I’m cheating. This picture was from Monday night. But a solo HR from Kevin Kouzmanoff off Scott Messnger in the top of the 10th has the Padres leading the Giants, 3-2.
A proposed deal that would’ve sent OF Jacques Jones from the Cubs to the Marlins was nullified Tuesday over money. As in, the Fish don’t want to spent much of it on Jones, who sat out last night’s 3-2 loss to the Pirates.
A nightmarish road trip for the Astros got a little bit worse with last night’s 11-5 beating at the hands of the Brewers, Houston’s 6th loss in their last 8 tries. Milwaukee’s 9 run 6th inning was marked by Johnny Estrada’s grand salami off Boomer-alike Rick White.
That said, things were looking up a tad for Houston’s PCL affiliate, as Round Rock rebounded from being Manny Parra’s perfect game patsies on Monday with a 9-3 defeat of Nashville. Chan Ho Park earned his first win in an Express uniform, striking out 5 over 7 innings, allowing just one earned run.
