Both starters pitched well on Opening Day (Andrew Cashner 6 IP, 1 R, 4 H, 2 W, 5 K and Hyun-Jin Ryu 7 IP, 0 R, 3 H, 3 W, 7 K), but the performance of the bullpens diverged significantly. Padre relievers retired nine of the ten batters they faced, while Brian Wilson failed to retire the first five batters he faced, allowing the Padres three decisive eighth inning runs. Chris Perez and Paco Rodriguez struck out the next three, but the damage was done and Huston Street closed the door with eleven pitches in the ninth.
