PHILADELPHIA — Two teams struggling for positive results meet for a three-game series this weekend as the San Diego Padres continue a six-game road trip with a stop in Philadelphia to face the Phillies.
San Diego (36-49) had a three-game winning streak end Thursday night in an 11-2 loss to the Cleveland Indians.
“All around, this was not a good effort by us,” said Padres manager Andy Green, whose team managed five hits while committing three errors.
The Phillies, owners of the worst record in baseball, 28-56, haven’t won three consecutive games since June 3-6. That was one of only two times all season they won more than back-to-back contests.
