Partially by design (remember all those Rule-5 picks?), the Padres were not very good during the Andy Green era. They, like any team, had their moments, like when they tied the NL record by homering in a 25th consecutive game on this date — July 27 — in 2016.
It was a feat reached only by the 1941 Yankees (25), 1994 Detroit Tigers (25), 1998 Atlanta Braves (25) and the 2002 Texas Ranges, who own the all-time mark with homers in 27 consecutive games.
Not that Green, in the middle of his first year as manager, put a whole lot of stock in the accomplishment.
