It's bad enough for fans of the Padres that they're fans of the Padres. But that first inning? Ouch.

Recaps:

• [DBacks.com] Collmenter rock solid as D-backs take opener - Not his longest outing, but definitely a solid one.

• [FS Arizona] Repeat after Gibby: No such thing as ugly win - I have to agree with him- a win is a win. They all count the same at the end of the season.

• [AZ Central] Josh Collmenter's scoreless outing lifts Diamondbacks to series-opening win over Padres - Thirty games left. We're into the last 20% of the season. And still in first.

• [cbs8.com] Early problems kill San Diego's chances - Hey, Padres fans, remember a year ago? When you were in contention? Yeah.

• [FS Arizona] D-backs' speed game creates havoc - Three stolen bases in the first inning. When you pressure the other team to make plays, sometimes they'll make mistakes, and it paid off big time yesterday.

• [AZ Central] Diamondbacks' Kirk Gibson monitors young players' workloads - We've got a few young players playing important roles for this team. It's probably for the best if we can keep them fresh as we fight our way down the stretch.

• [DBacks.com] Goldschmidt breaks out of slump in big way - Three hits, including a big home run- if you're going to break out of a slump, that's the way to do it.

• [HamptonRoads.com] Upton, Hudson help make D'Backs contenders - The two Virginia natives certainly have been a big boon to our club this season.

• [The Columbian] Clark College likes baseball, won’t pay for stadium - If the Yakima Bears are going to move to Vancouver, WA, they'll need to work out financing. But it doesn't look like they'll have a deal in place in time to play next year.

• [SB Nation Arizona] Arizona Diamondbacks Staying Close, Not Cracking Under Pressure - Is a six game losing streak a problem? Nah, they'll fight their way out of it.

Around Baseball:

• [Big League Stew] Saturday is ‘Larry Bernandez’ bobblehead night in Seattle - Yessssss. I so wish the DBacks did ads like the Mariners do.

• [HardballTalk] Yankees will "try to fight" decision about postponed doubleheader - What are you going to fight? Can you make Bud Selig go back in time and make the Orioles play the game on Friday like you wanted?

• [Los Angeles Times] Vin Scully gets the OK to return to the Dodgers - Probably the only good news that Dodgers fans have gotten this year. Though some people won't be thrilled.

• [Baseball Nation] When Hurricanes Relocated Baseball Games - This isn't the first time that weather has interfered with baseball, but previous instances have led to strange circumstances. Like the Marlins playing home games in US Cellular Field.
