Blake Tekotte gets first hit of '12

Blake Tekotte got his first hit of the season last night in the San Diego Padres' 4-0 loss to the St. Louis Cardinals.

On Saturday, Tekotte, an outfielder, was called up from Triple-A to the major leagues for the second time this season. He went 0 for 4 Sunday against the Los Angeles Angels before last night's pinch-hitting appearance.

He was first recalled April 28 and played in five games before being optioned back to Tucson on May 8. He is now 1 for 8 on the season.
