Is the right-hander the answer as the fifth starter in the rotation?
On a cool evening at Oracle Park, San Diego Padres Ryan Bergert threw five impressive innings in his first major league start. The only mistake was leaving a pitch up in the strike zone to San Francisco Giants leadoff hitter Heliot Ramos in the third inning.
