Padres starter Odrisamer Despaigne pitched well in his outing against the Marlins on Saturday. The right-hander allowed three runs on five hits over six-plus innings. He walked one and struck out five in the 5-3 victory.
Despaigne (5-7) cruised through the first four innings, keeping the Marlins off the board. But he gave up a pair of runs in the fifth, and another in the seventh before being pulled from the game.
But the Padres' offense had given their starter an early lead, and he was able to make it stand up.
Despaigne is 2-1 with a 4.13 ERA over his past five appearances (four starts).
