Padres (16-28) @ Mariners (17-27) Shawn Estes vs Felix Hernandez 1:10 p.m. PT Channel 4SD AM 1090, FM 105.7, XM 181 MLB, B-R Seven useless facts about Estes: His first name is Aaron. He shares a birthday with Jerry Morales, a member of the 1969 Padres. The Mariners selected him with the 11th pick overall in 1991, three picks after the Padres took Joey Hamilton and two before the Cleveland Indians nabbed Manny Ramirez. Deion Sanders was the center fielder behind him in his first big-league start. He wore #36 on first arriving in the big leagues, but soon switched to #55, which he has donned since 1996. He once was traded for ex-Padre Desi Relaford. He later was traded for ex-Padre Brady Clark.
