THIS DATE IN PADRE BASEBALL
1998 SEASON
PADRES DROP OPENER
ASTROS 2 PADRES 1
In a battle of first place teams, Houston gained the victory thanks to brilliant pitching from former Cy Young runner-up Pete Schourek (6-6), who looked like the 18 game winner from 1995. Allowing only 5 hits in 7 innings, with Ruben Rivera's solo home run the only blemish.
Padre starter, Sterling Hitchcock (4-4) fell a tad short of matching up, allowing 2 runs on 6 hits in 6 innings to take the tough luck loss.
News and Notes - Loss drops Padres 1 game back of the Braves and decreases their lead over Houston to 5 1/2.
