Where the Jones Go (Deep)
Maybe San Diego would be an attractive place for Andruw Jones to settle when he test the free agent market:
Jones hit a two-run homer off Justin Germano (5-3) in a three-run fourth and added an RBI single in the four-run fifth, when the right-hander was chased without getting an out.
It was Jones' 15th homer this season and ninth overall at Petco Park, the most by any visiting hitter at the stadium, which opened in 2004.
Last July 15, Jones hit a 453-foot shot, at the time the longest at Petco Park. San Diego's Russell Branyan hit a 453-foot homer on Sept. 24.
"I like it," Jones said. "I don't know, I just feel comfortable seeing the ball. Guys make mistakes and you take advantage of it."
The Padres would make themselves younger in centerfield, as Cameron is four years older than Andruw.
