But the Padres are already getting relief from their El Nino. That would be Yangervis Solarte, who the Padres have taken to calling El Nino (much to his embarrassment).
"I don't know where El Nino came from," Solarte said Wednesday afternoon after going 3-for-3 with a double and his second home run in as many games in the Padres' 3-2 win over Atlanta at Petco Park.
"I was 'Slowarte.' I guess this is better," said Solarte, who had a hand in all three Padres runs, in addition to making several solid plays at first in the finale of the Padres series sweep.
