Sean Kazmar's ground-rule double plated the ninth run for San Diego, and Young added a sac fly for good measure and a 10-0 lead. Game Notes The double for Young was the fourth of his career...Gamel's double was his first career hit...The Padres are one of four major league teams to have never thrown a no-hitter, along with the New York Mets, Colorado Rockies, and Tampa Bay Rays. |

| (MySportsbook) - While the Arizona Diamondbacks and Los Angeles Dodgers do their best to lose the NL West, a third team has entered the fray in by far the league's worst division. That's right, the Colorado Rockies are right back in the mix and with nine of their 21 games remaining against the division's top two teams, who says they can't steal this thing once it is all said and done? As I write this, the D'Backs hold a one-game edge on the Dodgers in the West with a critical three-game set between the two o |
