San Diego Padres come out flat in disappointing loss to the Reds

Hot off a series win in Philadelphia, the San Diego Padres looked poised to win their second straight against the Cincinnati Reds after winning the opener.

Instead, they lost the next two by a combined score of 4-7, the most disappointing performance coming in the rubber match on Wednesday.

With a scheduled bullpen day, the Padres ended up using three pitchers through the first three innings in what turned out to be a terribly managed game by Andy Green.

Matt Strahm had a decent outing as he tossed two scoreless innings with four strikeouts and no walks.
