A lot of the news is bad. The Padres played to a 2-5 record over the past seven days and currently stand at 40-35. They are in third place in the NL West, six games behind the Dodgers and 1.5 games behind the Giants.
Their last seven games versus division rivals didn’t go very well. Although the offense has improved over the last week, the pitching had some significant glitches and the offense couldn’t answer back in key situations.

Starter Dylan Cease continues his inconsistent season with another start that contained a bad inning and he allowed 6 ER in 5 IP.
