Syler Parks 3 HR in the Seats Sunday, May 2nd , 2083 Fans seated in the bleacher section at Colorado Field were taking cover all day long as Brian Syler zeroed in on them, rattling three long blasts off the seats in a display of Herculean power. The big game from the San Diego center fielder helped the Padres take the victory, 15-12, over the Colorado Rockies. "I told myself not to press on the last one," he told reporters in the postgame press conference. "I knew I couldn't force it -- it has to be a nice easy swing." For the game, he collected 3 hits in 5 at-bats, drove in 6 and scored 3 runs. Brian Syler hit a solo-shot off Andy Mosebach in the 2nd, struck out in the 4th, struck out in the 6th, hit a GRAND SLAM off Andres Ramirez in the 7th and hit a solo-shot off Scott Yount in the 9th.
