James Shields, who has started in two of the Ray's three wins, shut down the Rangers except for three home runs. Two by Michael Young and another bt Kinsler, his fourth already. Lofton's two hits were all the rest of the team could muster. Our four through eight hitters went 0 for 18 with one walk. Who is this guy, Felix Hernandez?
Former Ranger Carlos Pena picked up his first hits of the season, including a home run off of Tejeda, who got shelled for ten hits in five innings.
Chris Young getting paid. New Padre contract worth 14.5 milliion over 4 years. Seems like a steal for the pitcher who held National League hitters to the lowest batting average (.206). From Scout's inc.:
"The Padres will pay Young at least $23 million through the 2011 season. Young, who was scheduled to make $600,000 this season, will receive a boost to $750,000 for 2007 plus a $500,000 signing bonus. He will make $2.5 million in 2008, $4.5 million in 2009 and $6.25 million in 2010. The option for 2011 is $8.5 million."
