Good pitching from Despaigne, good hitting from Venable and Amarista, and a looooooooot of strikeouts.
After an little needed day off after leaving the scorching Arizona desert, having dropped the series against the Diamondbacks, the Padres hit the road to finish their away trip in San Francisco. The series against the Giants is being hoisted as a crucial turning point for a slumping San Diego ball club. With pricey acquisitions not yet proving their value, and an overall team record not living up to the hype, the Friars look to effectively turn a frown upside down in this series.
