Take "(961) SAN DIEGO PADRES"

Chris Young is off to a really good start for the surprising Padres. San Diego is in second place in the NL West behind the Dodgers. Young is 2-0 in four starts this season with a 3.42 ERA and 1.18 WHIP. Young has struck out 17 while walking just eight on the year. The Padres' bats haven't been anything to brag about for a few seasons now, especially in the pitcher's park they play in. 1B Adrian Gonzalez is having a fine start with a .306 ERA, six home runs and 13 RBI's. Heath Bell has taken over as the closer in the pen and has seven saves this year while allowing no earned runs and just three hits in eight appearances. Meanwhile the Rockies are stuck in last place in the division. It's not difficult to see why when you see their .239 team BA. They have hit 21 HR's in 16 games, but RF Brad Hawpe is hitting above .300 and has double-digit RBI's among the starters. Combine a team pitching ERA of 5.72 to the pathetic hitting and it's no wonder this club has won just five games this season. Don't look for the Rockies to win today either against the Padres #2 starter.
