SAN DIEGO – The Braves lost their fifth consecutive game Monday night, not overly surprising considering the way things have gone this season and the fact that they were playing in San Diego, where they haven’t won since late-August 2012.
Before leaving the game with triceps soreness, Williams Perez gave up a two-out, tie-breaking three-run homer to Yangervis Solarte in the third inning and the Padres cruised to a 7-2 win that was their 11th in a row against the Braves at Petco Park.
Perez (2-2) exited after 4 1/3 innings and was charged with seven hits, six runs and no walks with two strikeouts.
