The San Diego Padres lost to the Baltimore Orioles, 7-5, on Wednesday. They were swept in their series and fell to 76-54 on the year.

In other news, the Padres signed a veteran just a few weeks after they had released him. The 39-year-old backstop that was once designated for assignment by the Friars is now back with the organization.

Additionally, manager Mike Shildt called out his team's starting pitching. There is no question that the bullpen has held things down all season, but the skipper wants to see some more from his hurlers that set the tone for the rest of the game, especially at this point in the year.

Finally, speaking of the bullpen's dominance, All-Star reliever Jason Adam had a message for president of baseball operations A.J. Preller. The right-hander has been a staple in the bullpentgus season, but recently suffered a season-ending injury that was devastating to say the least.
