Tucson Padres News Release


The Tucson Padres fell behind early but scored six unanswered runs Saturday and beat the Nashville Sounds, 6-2. Jorge Reyes pitched seven innings for the third straight appearance and picked up his third Triple-A win. Josh Spence and Jason Ray threw a scoreless inning each for the Padres to close the game.

Tucson sent nine batters to the plate in the fifth inning, scoring three times on only two hits. The Padres took advantage of three walks and a hit batter in the rally, which also saw the ejection of Nashville pitching coach Fred Dabney. The runs in the inning came on a Jedd Gyorko sacrifice fly, Yasmani Grandal's bases loaded walk and Sawyer Carroll's infield hit. Tucson's Jonathan Roof went 2-for-3 with a walk and two singles in his first start in Triple-A.

There have now been three ejections in the past eight T-Pads games (Tucson hitting coach Bob Skube and New Orleans catcher Luke Montz were the others.) The Padres have won two of their last three games and have a 14-28 record, putting them in fourth place in the Northern Division, 15 games behind first place Fresno.
