It’s spring training, the results don’t count, and Mariners right-hander Yovani Gallardo is a 10-year veteran. So what’s his takeaway after allowing seven runs Monday in 4 1/3 innings?
"Not to pitch when the wind’s blowing out," he said.
The wind did have the flags snapping at Peoria Stadium, but only the Padres took advantage as they administered a 12-2 thumping to the Mariners in the spring’s final matchup between the complex co-tenants.
Gallardo gave up three two-run homers, and lefty Marc Rzepczynski served up another two-run shot in a three-run sixth inning.
