A beaten and battered Padres team needed a break from a tough stretch of schedule to MAYBE get things back on track. Following a couple series against the Cubs and Mets, a meeting with the floundering Rockies and the middling Reds were just what the doctor ordered before they had to face the Dodgers for the third time this year.
That just hasn’t been the case.
After beginning the month with a 4-8 record, the Padres (38-31) have now dropped the last two against the Rockies (27-41) with the series finale set for this afternoon. With Yu Darvish on the mound and a somewhat healthy lineup, you’d have thought last night’s game would have gone different.
