Padres Finish Spring with Win, Add Bullpen Depth

0:00On March 24, the San Diego Padres wrapped up spring training with a solid 10-3 win over the Seattle Mariners on Monday afternoon. They finished the Cactus League at 15 wins, 15 losses, and one tie, now shifting their full attention to the regular season ahead. Pitching stood out in the finale, with veteran right-handed German Marquez striking out eight over four and two-thirds innings in his first spring. Action with the Padres after a decade in Colorado. Bradley Rodriguez earned the win thanks to a big offensive push late in the game. Just days before opening day, the Padres added depth to their strong bullpen by signing a veteran reliever with nine seasons of big league experience. And a career 3-34 earned run average. The team will ease in a key 34-year-old All-Star right-hander who missed most of last year due to injury but made two spring appearances. After Craig Stamman plans a careful ramp up, targeting a return sometime in April if recovery stays on track.
