Padres Win at New York, 9-2
Spirited fans at Shea Stadium greeted the New York Mets for their clash with the San Diego Padres.

San Diego rode a good effort from starter Ismael Valdez to beat the New York Mets at Shea Stadium. The final score was 9-2. The winning pitcher was Valdez, now 3-6. He tossed 8 innings of 4-hit ball, while walking 3 and fanning 5.

San Diego center fielder Jim Edmonds had a key at-bat for the Padres in the top of the fourth inning. Facing left-hander Jason Isringhausen, Edmonds drew a walk, driving in 1 run. It put San Diego in front, 4-1. For the day, Edmonds drew 2 walks in 5 plate appearances.

"We took advantage of our opportunities," Valdez told the San Diego Today. "It's as simple as that."

San Diego, now 14-27, holds last place in the United League West Division.
