--RHP Duaner Sanchez got a double-play grounder to get out of a bases-loaded jam in the eighth inning of a scoreless tie Tuesday, and he picked up the win. However, he continues to struggle in his role as the Padres' main setup man. In his last five outings, Sanchez has allowed five runs on nine hits in 4 1/3 innings. He also went eight days between appearances due to forearm soreness.
--LF Chase Headley tied Tuesday's game with a two-out single in the eighth inning. He is now 5-for-10 in runner-in-scoring-position situations while hitting behind 1B Adrian Gonzalez, who is 4-for-17 in runner-in-scoring-position situations.
--LHP Arturo Lopez was promoted from Class AAA Portland on Tuesday, and he becomes the only left-hander in the Padres bullpen. OF Drew Macias was optioned to Portland for the second time this season. Macias had been in the major leagues only two days this time around.
--RHP Cha Seung Baek (strained right forearm) was hit hard Tuesday in his first rehab start. He gave up four runs on five hits in 3 2/3 innings for Class A Lake Elsinore.
