Padres bats come alive early, sweep D-backs

The Padres wrapped up a sweep of the rival D-backs Wednesday afternoon with a mixture of pitching AND hitting. Yes, both at the same time.

Eric Hosmer got the scoring started with a 2 run single in the 1st inning. Not even an over shift could stop the missile coming off of his bat. Ty France later doubled, making it 3-0 Padres after 1.

A Machado sacrifice fly made it 4-0 in the 2nd. A quick top of the 3rd had the boys right back at it in the bottom half.
