SEATTLE -- Learning that former Padres Hall of Famer Tony Gwynn had died completely changed Chris Youngs outlook on pitching against his former team.
Sterling
Shepard Giants Jersey . "I think any fun about pitching against them
disappeared this morning with the news of Tony passing," the Mariners
right-hander said after Seattles 5-1 win over San Diego on Monday night. "My
condolences go out to his family, the Padres organization, the city of San
Diego. He meant a lot to everyone there and Im grateful I had the opportunity to
work with him and get to know him." The loss capped a sombre day for the Padres
organization. Gwynn, 54, died Monday morning of oral cancer, a disease he
attributed to years of chewing tobacco. "Even though were away from San Diego I
think the Mariners did a good job of putting Tony out there," Padres manager Bud
Black said. Kyle Seager hit a three-run homer in the first inning, Brad Miller
added a solo shot, and Young threw six shutout innings against his former team.
San Diego was on the verge of being shut out by Young (6-4) and a pair of
relievers until Carlos Quentin hit a solo homer leading off the ninth. But Gwynn
was on everyones mind at Safeco Field. Seattle honoured Gwynn with a video
tribute and moment of silence before the game and put a 19 on the dirt in the
hole between the shortstop and third baseman. Gwynn called that the "5.5 hole"
and many of his 3,141 hits went through it. San Diego added black armbands to
its uniform in honour of Gwynn, and his No. 19 jersey hung in the Padres dugout.
His jersey also was scattered among fans in attendance. "He is the city of San
Diego. You talk Padres baseball, Tony Gwynn is everything there," Young said.
Seagers homer came on a 3-0 pitch from San Diego starter Tyson Ross (6-6).
Coming off a 4-for-4 performance on Sunday, Seager was given the green light and
hit his 10th homer of the season. Miller followed with a solo homer an inning
later. Robinson Cano added an RBI double as Seattle scored all five runs in the
first two innings. Seager leads Seattle in home runs and has seven hits in his
last 10 at-bats with six RBIs. James Jones also stole three bases and scored
twice for Seattle. "Its a good feeling that the skipper has confidence in you,
thats always good," Seager said. "In that situation I had seen a couple of
pitches ... when you get the opportunity you have to make sure you capitalize
and get a ball in the air. Young was once an All-Star for the Padres and has
become a valuable acquisition since joining Seattle at the end of spring
training. After losing his last two starts, Young gave up two hits in the first
inning and then cruised. He retired 16 of the final 19 batters he faced, giving
up a pair of singles and issuing one walk. He matched his season high with six
strikeouts. Joe Beimel, who gave up the final home run in Gwynns career, pitched
one inning of relief for Seattle. Tom Wilhelmsen then got the final six outs,
but couldnt complete the shutout giving up Quentins third homer of the season.
Ross had allowed only one homer in his previous six starts, but struggled all
night. He walked a career-high seven and at least one in every inning. Ross
pitched into the sixth inning and helped save the Padres bullpen. "My command
wasnt very sharp tonight," Ross said. "I kind of grinded through some innings
there and overall just wasnt in the strike zone early and often enough." NOTES:
Young has now faced all 30 teams in the majors. ... Seattle hopes to send
injured 1B Justin Smoak (quad) out on a rehab assignment Wednesday. Corey Hart
(hamstring) and Michael Saunders (shoulder) could join Smoak on rehab
assignments by the end of the week. ... In 11 career games against Seattle,
Gwynn hit .261 (12 for 46) with three doubles and four RBIs.
