Padres' outfield even faster now with Jankowski startingThe Padres featured the fastest outfield in the major leagues on Monday night, as Travis Jankowski made his first start in right field.
Jack Flaherty - Works through control issuesFlaherty allowed three hits and five walks while striking out eight over six shutout innings in a no-decision versus the Rangers on Wednesday.
ImpactFlaherty has walked at least four batters in five of his 13 starts this season, but he's 1-1 with three no-decisions in those outings. He was a little less dominant than opposing pitcher Jon Gray, who threw a complete game, but Flaherty was able to keep a challenging lineup in check. He hasn't allowed more than three runs in any of his last six starts, and he's given up one run or less in four of them. For the season, he's at a 4.15 ERA with a 1.50 WHIP and 72:40 K:BB through 69.1 innings. The elevated walk rate remains a concern, one Flaherty will look to get back under control in a projected home start versus the Giants next week.

Jon Gray - Goes distance in lossGray (6-2) took the loss Wednesday despite allowing just one run on four hits while striking out 12 over nine innings versus the Cardinals.
ImpactGray made it six straight starts without allowing more than one run, but the Rangers' bats had a rare off night. He was able to throw the complete game on just 100 pitches (76 strikes) in a dominant outing spoiled only by Alec Burleson's eighth-inning solo home run. Gray now has a 2.32 ERA, 0.96 WHIP and 63:20 K:BB through 73.2 innings this season. This was just the second complete game of his career. He's projected for a home start versus the Angels next week.
