The San Diego Padres affiliates went 1-5 on Saturday.

Both Lake Elsinore and Fort Wayne had doubleheaders on the day.

Here is a recap of the day’s events.

Jose Iglesias– (1-for-4)

Matt Waldron– 5.2 IP, 5 H, ER, 2 BB, 7 K (101 pitches- 62 strikes)

The El Paso Chihuahuas lost at home against the Oklahoma City Dodgers. Matt Waldron pitched well, throwing 5.2 innings of one-run baseball. He held the lead in the game, but Moises Lugo coughed up two earned runs in an inning of work, and the offense could not come back. Brandon Dixon and Preston Tucker both hit solo homers in the loss. Jose Iglesias continues to hit at the Triple-A level, as the veteran went 1-for-4 on the night.

San Antonio Missions (Lost 9-2) (10-15 on the season)

Jorge Ona– (2-for-4) RBI, K

Brantley Bell– (1-for-4) Run, RBI, 2 K

Daniel Camarena- 1.2 IP, 8 H, 5 ER, BB (47 pitches- 30 strikes)

The Missions lost to the Drillers on the road as Tulsa got seven runs in the first two innings. Daniel Camarena (of Max Scherzer home run fame) started the game, and he was knocked around for five earned runs in 1.2 innings of work. Lake Bachar filled him with 2.1 scoreless innings, but the damage had been done in the game. Jorge Ona led the team offensively as the outfielder went 2-for-4 with an RBI. Ona is hitting .163 on the season and doesn’t look capable of reaching the major leagues again for the Padres.

He failed to strike out a batter but lowered his ERA to 2.70 on the season. Jared Kollar earned the win by pitching in relief as he threw three innings and did not allow a single baserunner to reach base. Marcos Castanon homered for the fourth time on the season and drove in a pair of runs. Cole Cummings went 2-for-2 in the first game and is hitting .231 on the season.

The Lake Elsinore Storm lost the first game of a doubleheader on Saturday as the offense did not show up. The team managed only five hits and were 0-for-8, with runners in scoring position. Griffin Doersching recorded two of the five hits as the big first baseman looks to get back on track after a slow start. Samuel Zavala went 0-for-2 in the loss with a walk and is hitting .208 to begin the 2023 season. Fernando Sanchez started the game, and he coughed up six earned runs in 3.1 innings pitched.

Griffin Doersching continued his hot hitting in the second game as he went 1-for-3 in the second game and 3-for-6 on the day. Jagger Haynes started the game and went two scoreless innings.
