One thing the Padres aren't this season is boring. And that hasn't been the case in recent seasons. Even in Saturday night's 11-8 loss to the Dodgers at Petco Park, the Padres made it interesting -- and more than once.
Down, 3-0, in the top of the first, the Padres tied the game in the bottom of the inning on homers by outfielders Wil Myers (his first leading off a game in his career) and Justin Upton (who would later add a second).
