Heck of a win last night. Bowen almost had the half-inning of his life, but was thwarted by the ivy.

The Padres starter has made one start in the majors this year, which he apparently earned by putting up a 7.92 ERA in 14 starts in AAA. He made a bunch of largely mediocre starts for the Athletics before then, but looks like we never ran into him. We are second in baseball in wRC against LHP, though this guy doesn't have splits. The Padres are very bad against LHPs (27th in baseball), so in theory this should be good for us. Win again, preferably comfortably enough that Assad can just wrap up whatever Boyd can't do.

I thought Sears went out of business

This is probably the last day they can use Assad in bulk innings and still have him go Sunday. So maybe we do see him today. I am assuming they want Assad pitching Sunday.
