Padres SP Chris R. Young won for the third time in his last four starts Friday at Seattle, overcoming his own early struggles and pitching through the sixth inning. Staked to a 4-0 lead, he gave up three runs in the second but only one more the rest of the way. He allowed four runs on five hits and four walks, striking out five. "The guys gave me a big cushion early, and I tried my best to give it back and fortunately wasn't able to do so. They gave much such a big margin for error tonight," Young said. "It was nice pitching where I had room to make mistakes." (Updated 05/17/2008).

Fantasy Analysis
Young has a 4.18 ERA -- high for his standards. He has the occasional shaky start but continues to strike out right at a batter per inning and limit baserunners. Think of him as no less than a No. 3 Fantasy SP, but keep in mind he normally slows down in the second half. His next start is scheduled for Wednesday against the Cardinals. (Updated 05/17/2008).
