Padres pitcher Odrisamer Despaigne fired off 4 2/3 scoreless innings without allowing a hit or a walk in Thursday's 1-0, 12-inning loss to the Giants.
Despaigne came into the game in the middle of an at-bat in relief of an injured Ian Kennedy, and he went on to walk the inherited batter, with the free pass being charged to the starter. The reliever then sent down the next 14 Giants he faced before handing the reins over to Joaquin Benoit in the top of the eighth. Despaigne would likely enter the rotation in place of Kennedy if the latter needs more than a few days to recover from a hamstring strain.
