C. Young (2-0) - 3.2 IP 9 H 7 ER 2 BB 2 K 4.86 ERA. 82 pitches, 51 strikes.
Chris Young allowed a career-high tying seven earned runs as San Diego fell in a 7-1 pit after three innings, but the Padres battled back, scoring three runs with two outs in the eighth and rallying for the 8-7 victory.
Young was in trouble most of the evening, struggling to find his rhythm. He gave up an immediate broken bat single to Jimmy Rollins to start the bottom of the first. Shave Victorino grounded one through the hole to right to put runners on the corners and Chase Ultey swatted a 1-0 Young offering off the front of the second deck in right field.
By the time the first inning concluded Young had allowed five earned runs and thrown 42 pitches.
But Young's teammates picked him up despite a six run deficit and World Series MVP Cole Hamels on the hill for the Phillies, as San Diego improved its record a surprising 8-3 on the season.

Princeton held its awards banquet at Jadwin Gym tonight.
The worthy recipients of honors at the 2008-2009 banquet included:
Class of 1959 Bob Rock Sixth Man Award - Patrick Saunders.
B.F. Bunn Trophy - Pawel Buczak.
Friedman Memorial Award Trophy - Marcus Schroeder.
Guardian of the Program - Vernon Bugg.
The night set the perfect tone for the end of the season and the start of the work that needs to be put in for greater success next season, with goodnatured jibes delivered between players and coaches and a pair of funny, touching speeches by seniors Jason Briggs and Michael Strittmatter.
On a personal note, it is always an honor to attend this event, and I confess I got a tear in my eye when Coach Johnson announced that Marcus Schroeder was the recipient of the Friedman Award.
