SAN DIEGO -- After the Padres were was shut out for the seventh time this season on Thursday, Padres manager Bud Black was asked about the team's recent offensive woes.
"There is no one thing you can point to," Black said. "We have a number of guys, collectively, who aren't swinging well. But as fast as it can go bad, we're hoping it turns around."
Kyle Hendricks of the Cubs tossed his first shutout on Thursday, as the Cubs topped the Padres, 3-0, at Petco Park.
There might be a few things -- or players, specifically -- to point to as the reason why the team's offense has hit the skids of late.
