The San Diego Padres are on a roll coming off of a three game sweep over the Cincinnati Reds at Petco Park. This hot stretch has allowed them to surpass the San Francisco Giants in the National League West division standings and elude the cellar for the first time in months.
Now, the task San Diego is faced with is continuing to play solid baseball away from the friendly confines of their home ballpark. This weekend, the opponent is the Milwaukee Brewers, a difficult road series.
The Padres enter 27-40, while the Brewers come in on top of the NL Central with a 36-32 record.
