Since Luebke moved into the rotation we’ve now seen two outstanding starts from him, culminating in Saturday’s performance (6 IP, 2 H, 7 K, W) against the Mariners. The 26-year-old southpaw was terrific working out of the pen prior to joining the rotation so his success in a starter role shouldn’t come as a total shock. The 2007 first rounder out of Ohio State has not missed a beat since joining the Padre organization and looks to be a very valuable component in a potentially great starting rotation heading into the second half.

Meanwhile, Jennings continues to rake at Triple-A, going 3-for-5 Saturday to push his June BA well over .300. For the season, he’s batting .280 with 54 runs, a somewhat surprising 10 homers and an 831 OPS in 72 games. Jennings has only stolen 14 bases (a disappointment after he combined for 89 the past two seasons), but he’s picked up the pace with five so far this month and has only been caught once all season.
