Worth noting

• As part of his morning get-to-know you moments, Padres manager Bud Black was impressed to hear right-handed pitcher Adys Portillo, a 21-year-old considered one of the top prospects in the organization, pitched in the Little League World Series in 2003 for Venezuela. In fact, Portillo was the winning pitcher in a pool game against a team from Russia, striking out the first seven batters he faced in three innings of scoreless relief.
