The San Diego Padres are on a bit of a roll.
Well, look at it this way: They won five games in July, and they've already won six times in August.
And it's just not the number of wins they have, it is who they have beaten.
-- They split a four-game series at Wrigley Field against the National League Central-leading Chicago Cubs.
-- The Padres then took a bus ride to Milwaukee and won two of three from the Brewers, who are contending in the NL Central.
-- The Padres returned home and took two of three from the Philadelphia Phillies, who came to San Diego in sole possession of first place in the NL East, but that's no longer the case.
