This morning we found out that former Padre prospect Drew Cumberland became a coach for the Padres Single A team the Fort Wayne Tincaps. Drew Cumberland is a 22 year old SS who because of a rare medical condition he was forced to retire. The rare condition is called bilateral vestibulopathy which causes the portions of both inner ears that control balance to be damaged.
Now on to the Padre game. Today's pitching mathup had Mat Latos face off against Dillion Gee. The game was scoreless through the first 2 innings and it wasn't until David Wright stepped to the plate in the top of the 3rd with 2 on and 1 out and blasted a ball 388 feet over the left field wall. After that Mat Latos was lights out and it was 3-0 until Angel Pagan's RBI groundout against Pat Neshek in the 7th. The Padres come back in the bottom of the 7th with a RBI double from Aaron Cunningham to make it 4-1. The Mets started to pull away with a 3 run top of the 8th which made it 7-1. The Padres where able to come back and score 2 in the bottom of the 9th but it was not enough and the Mets won 7-3. The Mets improve to 60-63 and the Padres continue to struggle and are now 55-70. The winning pitcher was Dillion Gee who improved to 11-4 and Mat Latos is now 6-12.
The Padres will now have the 57-65 Marlins come to town for a 3 game series starting tomorrow at Petco. The pitching matchup for game one of the series has Tim Stauffer, who is 7-9 with a 3.53 ERA, against Javier Vasquez who is 7-10 with a 4.68 ERA.
