The last time Odrisamer Despaigne won a game, summer was three weeks away and Donald Trump was not a presidential candidate. But the drought is over.
The Padres starter finally performed well enough and received enough run support (barely) to snag his fourth win and first since May 31. He allowed just one run on two hits in six innings to edge Miami. Despaigne walked two and struck out three along the way.
The hits were successive singles to start the fifth that finally resulted in a run off a sacrifice fly. He retired the next four batters in order before leaving the game.
Despaigne rebounded nicely from a poor start Tuesday. He shrunk his ERA to 4.76 in the process.
