Left fielder Nick Torres fell a single short of a cycle in his second game with high Single-A Lake Elsinore, and right fielder Nick Schulz connected on his sixth homer in five games, as five players homered for the Storm in their 11-7 win at Stockton Sunday.

Elsewhere:
• Right-handed starting pitcher Colin Rea retired the only two hitters he faced with a strikeout in the SiriusXM All-Star Futures Game to start the events leading up to the All-Star Game presented by T-Mobile in Cincinnati. Rea, 25, retired the final two hitters in the 10-1 victory by Team U.S. over Team World on Sunday. Rea has a combined 1.98 earned run average and .197 opponents' batting average between Double-A San Antonio and Triple-A El Paso.

• Catcher Tim Federowicz was 1-for-4 with a RBI double Sunday as he started his rehab assignment as the designated hitter with low Single-A Fort Wayne. Federowicz has been on the Padres disabled list since having surgery to repair a team in the meniscus in his right knee in spring training.
