It's been a long time coming for Padres pitcher Chris Young. This year hasn't been pretty for the 6'10" rightie, who took a liner off the nose from Albert Pujols earlier in the year and was on the DL for more than a few weeks. Still, his stuff was commanding on Sunday, leading the Padres to a 10-1 victory over the NL Wild Card leading Milwaukee Brewers. Young came 4 outs away from a perfect game, before allowing Gabe Kapler to hit a 8th inning homer. He still went all 9 innings allowing 2 hits and 0 walks, while striking out 5.
Tremendous game for Chris, who watches his ERA lower all the way down to 4.48. What's better is that it only took him 96 pitches to get through the entire game, so he shouldn't be fatigued coming into his next start either.
The Good: CY, 9 innings 2 hits 0 walks 5 K's earning his 5th win
The Bad: Padres leadoff hitter Matt Antonelli, who watched his average dip to .056
