Wow, what a terrible series for the Padres. They didn't hit, they barely pitched, and it was just miserable.
The Padres came home after a 3-3 road trip. They had a nine-game winning streak at home, but it quickly got broken.
Kevin Correia started the first game of the series, giving up four runs in 4.1 innings.
Adrian Gonzalez hit his 21st homer of the season and Scott Hairston hit his eighth. But the Padres fell to the Phillies, 5-3.
The Padres and their fans looked to the next game, and with Jake Peavy on the mound, you feel pretty good about your chances. It was not meant to be, though. Jake only threw one inning, the shortest outing of his career, giving up four runs. He left the game with the flu, which he is still battling.
We eventually lost 10-5. It was miserable. A terrible, forgettable game.
The Padres crawled into the third game, looking to Chris Young to keep them in the game. He went six innings, but gave up three runs.
The Padres were only able to get one miserable run in the bottom of the eighth on David Eckstein's single.
It was a very ill-played series by the Padres. They couldn't hit and could barely pitch. Terrible.
They have an off-day today, which will hopefully help. Then they play the Diamondbacks for four games over the weekend.
I don't know what's wrong with this team, but I sure hope they figure it out soon.
GO PADRES!!
