The Padres were tasked with trying to be the first team to have success against Angels starter Jose Soriano – based on the score of the game, San Diego failed to do that. Los Angeles had and the threat of his knuckleball. The right-hander made his first start for the Padres after being called up from Triple-A El Paso and he lasted just 3.2 innings and allowed six runs on eight hits with a walk and four strikeouts. It was hardly the start Waldron expected and it was absolutely not the start San Diego needed. The Angels tacked on two additional runs against David Morgan who came on in relief of Waldron. Soriano limited the Padres to just two hits over 5.2 innings. He did allow four walks but added eight strikeouts. San Diego had opportunities against Soriano and even loaded the bases in the top of the third inning but could not get the big hit to open the scoring against the Los Angeles ace. San Diego managed just three hits in the game. The Padres will look to start a new win streak against the Angels at Angel Stadium at 6:38 p.m. today. **Padres News:**
