San Diego Padres affiliates went 1-5 on Wednesday.

Here is a recap of the day’s events.

Amarillo Sod Poodles (43-45) Lost 2-1

Andres Munoz gave up a run in the bottom of the eighth that was the difference in a 2-1 loss to Midland on Wednesday. The fireballer was sent to Double-A this week to work on some things. The Padres are hopeful he can find his stride and do well enough to be promoted to San Diego.  Lake Bachar made a start and was very solid for the Soddies, pitching seven innings and only allowing one unearned run. He struck out nine in the game and has a 3.30 ERA now in Texas. Buddy Reed went 4-for-4 with a triple and a double. The outfielder has struggled offensively this season but could be coming out of it in time for the second half of the season.
