Just one night after Melvin Upton Jr. led the Friars to victory with a three-hit performance at the plate, infielder Yangervis Solarte followed suit and posted a perfect 3-for-3 day on Wednesday to aid the Padres in completing a three-game sweep of the Braves at Petco Park. Solarte's strong performance complimented a quality start from Tyson Ross and also allowed the Friars to collect their seventh win in their last nine games.
Although Ross did not factor into the final decision of Wednesday's series finale, he did contribute with six innings of one-run baseball after surrendering only six hits and five strikeouts.
