ICYMI: Padres' efforts for naught as Phils take series

Despite a fairly consistent flow of hitting from the San Diego Padres' offense over the last three games, the Friars matched a season-high sixth-consecutive loss Sunday as the Philadelphia Phillies came out on top to complete a three-game sweep at Petco Park. The team was not without their opportunities on Sunday, however, as Will Venable contributed a three-hit performance to add to the Padres' total of nine hits on the day, while Andrew Cashner delivered yet another quality start. In spite of these solid performances by two of San Diego's veteran players, a victory was not in the cards for the Padres as they fell by a score of 5-3 to the surging Phillies.
