| Breaking News |  | Wednesday, August 9th, 2028: Nelson to Miss One Week San Diego fans will be disappointed to learn that Cole Nelson developed back spasms while throwing the ball in today's game. After the doctor informed the San Diego Padres manager that Nelson was expected to miss one week, the manager told the press that the rest of the team would have to step up their play until the center fielder could return. "You can't make excuses in baseball, because there's always a game tomorrow," said the team's skipper.
So far this season Nelson has gotten 95 hits in 402 at-bats for a .236 batting average with 5 home runs. His stats include 35 RBIs and 61 runs scored. He has played in 102 games. |  | Tuesday, August 8th, 2028: González Sizzles -- Smokes Padres for 5 Hits Júlio González of the Marlins was unstoppable in today's 11-3 victory over the San Diego Padres at Pro Player Stadium. He battered them for 5 hits in 5 at-bats.
"Boy, I was on the mark today," said the Florida right fielder after the game. "I could see the ball real well. It's a great feeling to do this. And besides, 5-5 won't hurt your batting average like 0-5 will."
J. González hit an RBI single in the 1st, singled in the 3rd, singled in the 5th, singled in the 7th and hit an RBI double in the 8th.
This year González is batting .318 with 8 home runs. He has scored 44 runs and driven in 52. |  | Saturday, August 5th, 2028: Baca Signs for 3 years Media analysts hailed San Diego's signing of Silvio Baca, one of United Baseball League's brightest stars, as a pivotal move.
While the deal is certain to raise a few eyebrows, Baca is expected to earn every bit of the $13,200,000 promised him over 3 years.
Baca is swinging at a .271 pace on the year with 13 home runs, 49 RBIs and 40 runs scored. He has played in 103 games. | | | | Team Information | | Record overall | 50-63, .442 PCT | | Position in Division | 4th, 22.5 GB | | Record at home | 21-38, .356 PCT | | Record on the road | 29-25, .537 PCT | | Record in X-inning games | 6-3, .667 PCT | | Record in one-run games | 12-16, .429 PCT | | Record versus LHP | 19-11, .633 PCT | | Record versus RHP | 31-52, .373 PCT | | Record last 10 games | 4-6, .400 PCT | | Record in April | 11-10, .524 PCT | | Record in May | 13-15, .464 PCT | | Record in June | 13-14, .481 PCT | | Record in July | 9-19, .321 PCT | | Record in August | 4-5, .444 PCT |
