Saturday night's game against the Nationals was played in front of a sellout crowd of 45,282 fans -- the sixth sellout of the season for the Friars and also the fourth-largest attendance in Petco Park history. Unfortunately, the fans in attendance would go on to watch the Padres fall to the Nationals by a score of 4-1 in the third-game of a four-game set against Washington.

For the second night in a row, the Padres' offense was stymied by the Nationals' pitching and the Friars struggled with runners in scoring position, going 2-for-9 on the night with only one run having scored.
