2nd Inning A cringing Carlos Quentin chugged around the first base en route to second after hitting a ball into the left field corner. His knees are seriously effed right now always. Yonder Alonso singled him in. Quentin grimaced while trotting home, giving the Padres the 1-0 lead. The Padres thought that's the only run they'd need with Eric Stults on the mound. 1-0 Padres 7th Inning Bud Black seemed perfectly content to let Eric Stults finish the game. Stults seemed gassed. He gave up back to back doubles to start the inning. Then a walk. Then another double. With Arizona now held the 2-1 lead. Bud Black decided to pull Stults. Dale Thayer came in and promptly gave up a single, scoring another run. Again Black visited the mound with the hook. Joe Thatcher then came in to record the 2nd out. Black then pulled him. Then it was Anthony Bass's turn. He gave up a double and another 2 runs. That's some kinda bullpen. 5-1 Diamondbacks 8th Inning Everth Cabrera kicked off the inning with a home run into the pool in the outfield. Splash, bitches! FINAL: 5-2 Diamondbacks In the 9th Heath Bell tried to give the game back to the Padres, he'd be a perfect fit for our bullpen.

Christopher Hanewinckel-USA TODAY Sports One of the biggest surprises this fantasy baseball season has been San Diego Padres SP Jason Marquis. The 34-year-old has been all over the place, as he has played for eight different teams in his 14 MLB seasons, but this has finally been his breakout season. He went practically undrafted in nearly every format outside of the San Diego area and has since become one of the best free agent pickups this season. Marquis has won five consecutive decisions for fantasy owners. After another gem this week, the righty has improved his record to 6-2 and lowered his ERA down to 3.27. He has only allowed three earned runs in the last 21 innings of work and has pitched like one of the elite aces in the game. The Staten Island native is even holding opposing hitters to a mere .227 batting average. Marquis is punishing hitters inside with his slider, while his fastball has amazing late movement on it that is very deceptive for hitters to track. Marquis pitches his home games at Petco Park, which is perhaps the most pitcher-friendly park in the majors. He induces ground outs 56% of the time, which can be a pitcher’s best friend when it comes to double plays and other easy outs across the diamond. Petco Park will famously hold 99.9% of long balls inside the park because of the far fences, so any ground ball pitcher can become an All-Star hurler in San Diego. Marquis has earned a roster spot this season and his performance should no longer surprise fantasy owners. Adam McGill is the Senior Fantasy Sports Writer at Rant Sports.

Dennis Wierzbicki-USA TODAY Sports Not many fantasy baseball fans had Chicago Cubs SP Scott Feldman on their radars before the 2013 season started. However, the right-hander has quickly become a popular waiver wire pickup over the last several weeks and has put up some solid fantasy numbers. Feldman currently has a sizzling 2.19 ERA, which is good for sixth in the entire National League. He is riding a four-game winning streak and has seen his ERA come down from 4.50 to just over 2.00 in that stretch. The veteran caught the interest of fantasy fans ever since he had a nine-inning gem against the San Diego Padres earlier this month. He struck 12 batters in the contest and threw a season-high 114 pitches. Including that start, Feldman has had four straight quality starts for fantasy owners. However, the 30-year-old has never been a fixture in any rotation and has only received 30 starts once in the last seven professional seasons. He also has a lifetime 4.64 ERA and an even worse 43-47 record. Needless to say, it is only a matter of time until he starts missing his targets and his fastball starts drifting up in the strike zone again. Feldman is worth starting while he is pitching so strongly, but he obviously won’t keep it up forever. I would ride him while he is on such a tear and dump him the minute his ERA climbs over 3.50.
