Padres pitcher Odrisamer Despaigne was dominant in Tuesday's win, giving up five hits and two walks in seven scoreless innings while striking out eight in his team's 4-1 victory over the Rockies.
Despaigne (3-3) was coming off back-to-back mediocre outings but turned things around in a big way Wednesday, setting a season high for strikeouts and delivering his first scoreless performance since his debut in June. He owns a 2.72 ERA and 36:22 K:BB ratio in 56 1/3 innings. Despaigne is scheduled to face the Cardinals Sunday.
