Career
Mexican League/San Diego Padres
Silva played in the Mexican League from 2002 to 2008. On February 21, 2009 Silva was invited to spring training by the San Diego Padres.[1] After a good spring he made the opening day roster as the team's third starter in the pitching rotation.[2]
Silva made his Major League debut on April 8, 2009, against the Los Angeles Dodgers. He pitched five innings allowing two runs on five hits with a strikeout, and earned the no decision, leaving the game tied at 2–2.[3]
Silva was the starting pitcher for the visiting Padres in the first Major League baseball game at the New York Mets' new ballpark, Citi Field, April 13, 2009. He pitched 4.2 innings, giving up five runs on five hits, and striking out two. The Padres won the game, but Silva did not get the decision.[4]
On July 7, he was designated for assignment by the Padres after going 0–2 with an 8.76 ERA in 6 starts.[5]
Second Stint in Mexican League
In 2010, he returned to the Mexican League with the Sultanes de Monterrey, for whom he played for through the 2015 season.
On April 12, 2016, he was traded to the Vaqueros Laguna from the Toros de Tijuana.
On March 18, 2017, he was traded to the Bravos de León from the Vaqueros Laguna.
Silva did not play in a game in 2020 due to the cancellation of the Mexican League season because of the COVID-19 pandemic.[6] He was released by the Bravos on March 9, 2021.
On June 11, 2021, Silva signed with the Generales de Durango of the Mexican League.[7] He was released on November 23, 2021.
