Morrow throws first sim game

SAN DIEGO -- It was the game before the game, and by all accounts, the Padres won.

Prior to San Diego facing the Pittsburgh Pirates on Thursday night, right-handed starter Brandon Morrow took the mound for his first simulated game since landing on the disabled list May 5 with a sore right shoulder.

"It felt good,'' said Morrow, who tossed three 15-pitch innings, after a full warmup. "It's all been positive.''

Morrow is expected to throw again in San Diego over the weekend. Depending on how that goes, a Minor League rehabilitation start could come soon.
