CINCINNATI —
The Padres are not a team set up to win consistently.
Not in some spots on the field, not at certain places in the batting order and not on the bench — and certainly not on a day when the aim is filling a hole in the rotation.
With one bad play in the outfield and eight bad pitches in the third inning, a “bullpen game” for the Padres went awry in a hurry Wednesday afternoon at Great American Ball Park, as they lost a game 4-2 and lost a series to the Reds to end their six-game trip even.
