C. Young – 2.0 IP 0 H 0 ER 0 BB 1 K 1.82 ERA. 28 pitches, 16 strikes.
Chris Young pitched two shutout innings on Tuesday before leaving the Padres’ game versus Colorado with an oblique strain. Young is listed as day-to-day and it is not yet known if he will miss his next scheduled start on Sunday.
“I’ve never had anything like it … I didn’t even know what the sensation I was feeling,” said Young, who breezed through his first two innings before leaving when he couldn’t make his warm-up tosses in the third inning without pain. “It could be minor, it could be severe. Hopefully, it won’t be too bad.”

1981 was the last year until the early 1990s that Topps made basketball trading cards. Each card in this set had three players on it, with perforations that allowed for division into three smaller cards. This Armond Hill card was #21 in the ill-fated series. We have a few other “trios” cards from Princeton alums to scan in the next few weeks.

C. Young (9-3) – 7.0 IP 2 H 0 ER 3 BB 6 K 1.85 ERA. 116 pitches, 77 strikes.
Chris Young outperformed fellow All-Star Cole Hamels by the slimmest of margins on Thursday night in San Diego. Young pitched seven innings of two-hit shutout baseball as the Padres took the first game of their series with Philadelphia 1-0. Young has started all five of the games this season that San Diego has won with just a single run.
Faced with the same decision he had the last time Young was on the mound, manager Bud Black decided to leave Young in for the seventh inning despite a pitch count in the high nineties. Young struck out two and retired the side in order in the seventh, his 116th pitch a lazy fly ball to left field.
Will Venable was 2-4 a double and a run scored in San Antonio’s 9-5 win over Frisco. The Missions are 16-9 in the second half of the season, with a 2.5 game first place lead.

C. Young – 6.0 IP 2 H 1 ER 0 BB 8 K 1.97 ERA. 96 pitches, 62 strikes.
Padres manager Bud Black took Chris Young out of Saturday night’s game versus Arizona after 96 pitches and six excellent innings. Young did not allow a hit until Tony Clark’s home run snuck inside the right field foul pole in the fifth. Young has given up just four home runs this season, three of which were by Clark. Young headed to the showers with a 4-1 lead, which the Padres bullpen immediately gave back in the bottom of the seventh when reliever Heath Bell cracked for three runs in less than an inning of work. The Diamondbacks took a 5-4 lead in the eighth and San Diego could not rally. The Padres slipped into second place behind Los Angeles with the loss.
Will Venable was 2-4 with his third regular-season home run of the year, his 13th stolen base and two runs scored, but the Missions were doubled up by Midland 16-8.
