Great Effort by Brantley Wasted in 15-6 Astros Loss
The San Diego Padres defeated the Houston Astros, 15-6. Doing his part was right fielder Michael Brantley, who hit 2 home runs, while adding 4 RBI and scoring twice. Fernando Gatica, who went 6.1 innings, was the winning pitcher. He was charged with 5 runs on 8 hits, while walking 3 and striking out 2. His record now stands at 10-9. San Diego, at 82-75, holds down third place in the NL West Division.

Who knows how it might've ended, had it not been for Miguel Valenzuela? The San Diego right fielder had a 2-run single in the top of the first inning to put the Padres on top, 3-0. For the game, Valenzuela had 1 double and 1 single in 3 at-bats.

"I felt good up there," said Valenzuela. "I saw the ball well."
