The San Diego Padres remain ten games over .500 solely due to the 14-3 record they achieved at the start of the season. Since then they have played one game under .500 overall. There has been some ebb and flow with the pitching during this time but the primary cause for this result has been the offense.
Over the past month, when the Padres played to a 14-14 record and were shut out three times, the pitching staff shut out the opposition four times with two of those coming this past week. There have been some lopsided victories and defeats during this stretch with the team ERA sitting at 4.
