SAN DIEGO -- How, exactly, do the Padres move past a scoreless Opening Series and an offensive funk that has spanned a record 27 innings? Well, they'll pack their bags and head to Coors Field -- the best hitter's park in baseball and a haven for slumping offenses.
The message in the clubhouse following a 7-0 loss to the Dodgers was simply that it's time to turn the page. The Padres' hitters, while obviously disappointed with the early-season results, maintained Wednesday that it's only a matter of time until the bats awaken.
The Padres are the first team in big league history to be shut out in three games to open the season.
