Coming out of the gates with a. 3-0 start is what every team in baseball hopes for. But entering play Sunday, just two teams have managed to do so this year: the Houston Astros and the San Diego Padres.
The Padres have ridden their new-look rotation and potent offense to three-straight wins over the division rival Arizona Diamondbacks and will look to finish off the sweep on Sunday afternoon at Petco Park. They’re taking a one-game-at-a-time approach to things, with an eye on the ultimate goal: bringing a World Series championship to San Diego.
