From Rotoworld: Hill allowed three runs on four hits over seven innings in Monday’s loss to the Angels. Hill took the loss in this one, but he pitched well enough for a win. The veteran southpaw struck out seven and walked two on the evening, with only a two-run single by Yunel Escobar in the third inning and a sacrifice fly by Danny Espinosa in the fourth dinging the scoreboard on his watch. He will bring a 4.60 ERA and 1.45 WHIP into a road start against the Padres.
Latest on Overton: Padres claimed Overton off waivers from the Mariners; optioned him to Triple-A El Paso. Overton has put up an ugly 9.28 ERA over 42 2/3 innings in the majors and holds a 9.33 mark at the Triple-A level this year. However, the 25-year-old put up nice numbers in the minors prior to this season and is worth a shot as a depth addition.
