Gwynn Scores Winning Run In Ninth: Pads Win Sixth Straight

No, Friar Faithful, that is not an old headline. The San Diego Padres came back in the bottom of the ninth to sweep the Giants and win their sixth game in a row and Tony Gwynn scored the winning run.Tony Gwynn Jr., who used to go by Anthony in San Diego, was traded from Milwaukee to his hometown earlier today and walked in a pinch hit appearance in the bottom of the ninth, scoring the winning tally in a 3-2 victory when Scott Hairston singled him home.This was a day that looked sad for Padre fans earlier. If we take isolated pieces of info and string them together, think of how bad this day could have sucked.The Padres reach an agreement to trade Jake Peavy to Chicago. Jody Gerut, one of the few bright spots of the last eighteen months, is traded for a kid that can't seem to stay in the bigs. And to top off the day, Heath Bell loses his scoreless streak by allowing the Gigantes to take a lead in the ninth.Instead, Peavy rejects the trade. The kid with the frequent flier miles between Louisville and Milwaukee is the son of our greatest player ever and the Padres win their sixth in a row and give Bell a W to go with his eleven saves.But to have Tony Jr. score the winning run in his Padre debut? If we tried to sell it to Hollywood they would kick us to the curb faster than some guy pitching WaterWorld 2.
