San Diego Padres Daily Farm Report: July 2

Sacramento River Cats 9, Chihuahuas 7

Key Stats: C Luis Campusano 0-for-4, BB, E, PB; RF Nick Solak 2-for-4, HR (10); 3B Will Wagner 1-for-3, HR (4), BB; SS Mason McCoy 1-for-4, HR (8); LHP Jackson Wolf 6 IP, 7 H, 6 R (5 ER), 5 K, 3 BB; RHP Andrew Moore 1.2 IP, 3 H, ER, 2 BB; RHP Ty Adcock 0.2 IP, H, 2 ER, BB

Prospect Watch: El Paso fell behind 5-0 before coming to bat in the bottom of the second, rallied back, but ultimately fell short. El Paso got three homers on the night, including Nick Solak‘s first since refusing an outright assignment and negotiating a new deal last week. The 31-year-old has now logged big league service time in seven of the last eight seasons, but has totaled only 100 at-bats for five different teams in the last five years. … Luis Campusano, who had Wednesday night off after making his first rehab start Tuesday, caught all nine innings on Thursday, going 0-for-4 with a walk. With Freddy Fermin exiting the big league game after taking another foul ball off his mask, Campusano may be forced back to the Padres roster faster than anticipated in his rehab process. … In his third appearance since being promoted to El Paso, righty Andrew Moore gave up his first PCL run. The 26-year-old didn’t record a strikeout, but his adventures with control continued as he walked a pair. While he’s worked to a 1.82 ERA on the year, he’s walked 31 batters in his 29.2 innings. Moore actually got first-pitch strikes on five of the 10 batters he faced and landed 17 of his 35 pitches in the zone on Thursday, but Sacramento batters chased only two pitches out of the zone all night.

Missions 7, Amarillo Sod Poodles 3

Key Stats: C Ethan Salas 2-for-4, BB, PO; CF Kai Roberts 2-for-4, 3 SB (28); DH Jake Cunningham 2-for-5, 2B; 2B Ryan Jackson 3-for-4, 2B; RHP Victor Lizarraga 5 IP, 5 H, 2 ER, 3 K, 3 BB; RHP Johan Moreno IP, 3 K

Prospect Watch: The Missions took advantage of a walk, hit batter, wild pitch, and a fielding error to turn three sixth-inning singles into five runs and lock up a win over the visiting Sod Poodles. Ethan Salas collected his second single of the night to drive in the first two runs of the rally. He reached base three times in all as he also drew a leadoff walk in the third inning, though he was picked off and caught stealing following the free pass. After missing 10 days on the IL with a minor oblique injury, Salas has now reached base four times in his first nine trips to the plate coming back. … Speedy outfielder Kai Roberts continued his recent hot stretch, collecting a pair of hits out of the two-hole in the lineup and swiping three more bases. The 25-year-old outfielder is 12-for-31 with four walks over his last nine games. While he had only one extra-base hit – a double – in that stretch, he has still put together an .876 OPS along the way. He has now converted on all 28 of his stolen base attempts this year. Only two other players in minor league baseball have swiped at least 20 bags without being caught. … Victor Lizarraga didn’t pick up the win, but he threw five solid innings to give his club a chance. The righty had a solid run through May, but has generally struggled this year. Now 22, Lizarraga has posted a 6.23 ERA while watching his strikeout rate plummet, and walk rate climb in his third season in the Texas League. … Righty Johan Moreno punched out all three batters he faced in the ninth to preserve the victory. The 23-year-old righty got four whiffs on nine swings and threw 10 of his 13 pitches for strikes. He’s struck out eight without a walk in his last four innings of work.

Great Lakes Loons 6, TinCaps 2

Key Stats: SS Rosman Verdugo 2-for-5, 2 2B; LF Alex McCoy 2-for-4, BB, SB (13) OF Assist; RHP Carson Montgomery 5 IP, 4 H, 4 ER, 2 K, 3 BB

Prospect Watch: The TinCaps dropped their fifth straight and third of the series against Great Lakes. John Conniff has details from on-site for you here.

Stockton Ports 8, Storm 4

Key Stats: 2B Yimy Tovar 1-for-4, BB, 2 SB (4); DH Jorge Quintana 0-for-2, 2 BB, SB (15); C Alcides Hernandez 1-for-1, 3 BB; RHP Lan-Hong Su 3 IP, 4 H, 4 ER, 4 K, 2 BB; LHP Zack Qin 3 IP, 3 H, K, 3 BB

Prospect Watch: The visitors jumped on Lan-Hong Su for four runs in the second inning and never gave up the lead, sending the Storm to their ninth loss in 12 games in the second half. Su, 19, gave up a leadoff walk before left-handed hitter Breyson Guedez turned around a hanging breaking ball for a two-run homer. The Taiwanese-born righty then got a pair of outs, but couldn’t get out of the inning when a soft grounder to third turned into a single and a throwing error. Su issued his second walk of the frame before a two-run double put the Storm in a hole deeper than they could get out of. A prized part of the Padres’ 2025 international free agent class who signed last October, Su finished his outing with a pair of strikeouts and a groundball out in the third, but had already thrown 46 pitches at that point. After largely strong results in the Arizona Complex League, Su has yielded a 1.190 OPS in his first two Cal League starts. … Just as he did in their first game following promotion, Zack Qin followed Su in a piggyback role as the Padres work to protect both hurlers’ pitch counts. Qin, 21, needed some help from his defense, but navigated through three scoreless innings despite allowing three hits and walking three more. The fourth inning ended when George Bilecki took a ball off the right-field wall and managed to throw out the batter at second base before a run could cross, and the sixth ended on a double-play ball. After posting a stellar 36:4 strikeout-to-walk ratio in 21.2 innings returning from Tommy John surgery in the desert, the 21-year-old has punched out five and walked four in his first six innings back in the Cal League since 2024. … Yimy Tovar had a single and walk out of the leadoff spot, and stole a pair of bases in the game, including a back-door steal of home after the Ports tried to get the trail runner going to second. After solid returns when he opened the season back in the desert, the 20-year-old infielder has hit just .129/.211/.161 across 72 plate appearances since getting promoted to the Storm in late May.
