“Seems like no matter who the D-backs throw out there, the Padres have their number.” Those were the words of Steven Burt in yesterday’s recap. Today the D-Backs threw out Taylor Widener and the Padres will remember that for at least a couple of days:
Taylor Widener made his first start ever and threw 81 pitches, 53 for strikes, and was the main proponent of today’s 3-1 win. After 6 good innings from Widener it were Crichton, Young, Soria, Ginkel and Devenski who were able to secure the win in the 3 remaining innings, allowing just one run to the Padres.
