Padres minor league affiliates went 0-2 on Friday. 

Here is our daily recap of games played. 

El Paso Chihuahuas (Lost 9-0 vs Albuquerque in 6 innings) (75-66 on the season)

Yonathan Perlaza – 1-for-2, Single

Trenton Brooks – 1-for-2, Single

Logan Gillaspie – 3.1 IP, 6 H, 7 R, 2 BB, 2 K (69 pitches – 46 strikes)

Rain was the only mercy in the game for El Paso, as the Chihuahuas were shut out in a rain-abridged game. Trenton Brooks and Yonathan Perlaza had El Paso’s only two hits of the game, both notching a single in the game. The pitching staff’s performance was rough; starter Logan Gillaspie pitched into the fourth but was charged with seven earned runs in 3.1 innings. Gillaspie allowed two home runs and six hits, walking two and only striking out two. In 40 swings by Isotopes batters, only six were whiffs against Gillaspie. Francis Pena allowed five hits and two runs in 1.1 innings of relief, averaging a season-low 94.3 mph on his sinker. Clay Edmondson became the first Padres draftee from the 2025 draft to make it above High-A, pitching 1.1 scoreless innings with his first career Triple-A strikeout.

San Antonio Missions (Lost 4-3 vs Springfield) (65-70 on the season)

Damon Dues – 2-for-3, RBI Walk

Oswaldo Linares – 1-for-3, RBI Double

Miguel Mendez – 2.1 IP, 5 H, 3 R, 0 BB, 3 K (55 pitches – 40 strikes)

Miguel Mendez allowed a first-inning two-run homer as Springfield defeated the Missions by a 4-3 final. Mendez, in what could be his last start of the season, allowed three runs on five hits in 2.1 innings of work, striking out three. Mendez continues to dominate with the fastball, but his slider’s location continues to be an area of improvement, as the homer he allowed came on a hanging slider. Despite some growing pains at the Double-A level, Mendez’s season overall should be considered a success. Fernando Sanchez allowed one earned run in 2.2 innings of relief, striking out two and relying on weak contact to get through the innings. Josh Mallitz remained scoreless in his fourth Missions appearance, pitching two scoreless innings. Kevin Kopps worked around two hits in a scoreless ninth.

At the dish, the bottom of the lineup for the Missions did most of the heavy lifting. Anthony Vilar reached base three times, walking twice and scoring one run. Vilar scored on an RBI double by Oswaldo Linares. Vilar would drive in the Missions’ second run on an RBI single in the sixth inning, scoring Eguy Rosario. Damon Dues drew a bases-loaded walk two batters later to bring the Missions to within one run, but Kai Murphy grounded out to end the rally. San Antonio finished 1-for-11 with runners in scoring position, stranding eight runners in the loss.
