ARLINGTON -- No manager would complain about his team hitting too many home runs, but for Padres skipper Andy Green, the problem is that his offense is scoring far too many of its runs via the long ball.
To Green, the Padres aren't scoring enough runs the old-fashioned way -- manufacturing them station-to-station, getting base hits with runners in scoring position and taking advantage of what pitchers give them instead of swinging for the fences.
Counting two solo homers in a 4-3 loss to the Rangers on Wednesday, the Padres have scored the majority of their runs this season on home runs.
