Chris Paddack did on Wednesday afternoon what has already become customary for the rookie.
Only this time, he did it better and for longer and, evidently, did it after waking up with a 102-degree fever.
The 23-year-old right-hander allowed one hit in seven innings and earned his first major league victory as the Padres beat the Mariners 1-0 to sweep their two-game series at Petco Park.
Paddack, who woke up with flu-like symptoms and a high fever, walked the first batter of the game on four pitches. Domingo Santana grounded a one-out single through the right side.
