After an incredibly disappointing first half, the Padres have come home to San Diego with a chip on their shoulder. At eight games under .500 and seven out of a playoff spot, they're playing far below expectations and they know it. Turning things around this late in the season is difficult, but they're starting off the second half right. Matt Kemp, Jedd Gyorko, and Justin Upton all went yard in tonight's victory over the last-place Rockies.
All the runs the Friars needed to win came with two outs in the bottom of the first.
