Luke Gregerson throws one pitch in win
by Ed Gauna | CBSSports.com
(4/10/2013) Padres reliever Luke Gregerson needed just one pitch to earn his first win on Tuesday against the Dodgers. He entered in the seventh inning with one on, two outs and the game tied. The right-hander got Juan Uribe to harmlessly ground out to third base and San Diego scored the go-ahead run in the bottom of the frame.
Gregerson became just the fourth pitcher in club history since 1988 to throw one pitch and get credited with a victory, according to MLB.com.
"It's just part of the game. I'll take any win I can get, it was a good win for us," Gregerson said. "I have faced Uribe a number of times before, and I know his strengths and he knows mine. I tried to challenge him with my best pitch [slider] and he took a hack at it into the ground."
Gregerson has thrown 2 2/3 scoreless innings thus far while striking out four.
