Ex-Astros Reineke Wins ML Debut
Chad Reineke’s major league debut was free of the nightmare scenarios he’d imagined the night before.
Reineke pitched five innings and got his first hit and an RBI to win his major league debut as the Padres beat the Philadelphia Phillies 8-3 on Saturday night.
Reineke spent Friday night in his hotel room wondering how he would perform in his first big league game.
"To be honest, you kind of think about all the bad things that could happen to you," Reineke said. "You don’t want to go two-thirds of an inning and be all over the place. In that aspect, I’m happy I was able to get a win..."We scored three runs early and couldn’t polish him off," Philadelphia manager Charlie Manuel said. "He gutted it out."

For the record
He was Citizens. For whatever it’s worth.
A good friend of mine used to say, "This is a very simple game. You throw the ball, you catch the ball, you hit the ball. Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose, sometimes it rains." Think about that for a while.
