Rangers Starter Vincente Padilla

By: Ben Raby
BALTIMORE - Word has just reached the press box that Rangers starter Vincente Padilla was pulled from the game because of a bruised thumb. X-rays were negative. Just a thought here, but maybe he was pulled because he just wasn't pitching well. Sure the bruised thumb may have contributed, but you give up eight earned runs in 2 2/3 innings, and chances are you're going to be pulled regardless.

Meanwhile, Padilla's replacement, righthander Warner Madrigal, has retired all seven Orioles he's faced.

We're in the top of the sixth, Orioles continue to lead 8-1.
