Among pitchers to wear a Padres jersey, only Hall of Fame closer Trevor Hoffman sported a lower ERA with San Diego (2.76) than the 3.12 mark left-hander Dave Dravecky posted over six years with the club.
The former 21st-rounder turned in his best season in 1983, when he won a career-high 14 games and completed nine starts, also a career-high. The longest was an 11-inning game on this date — June 18 — in which Dravecky struck out four and allowed a run on six hits and no walks in a 2-1 win over the visiting Houston Astros.
