Comeback wins like the one against the Detroit Tigers on Saturday night are a big reason for the positive vibes.
Pinch-hitter Hector Sanchez slugged a go-ahead two-run homer in the eighth inning, powering the Padres to a 7-3 victory Saturday night and sending the Tigers to their eighth consecutive loss.
Chants of “Sweep! Sweep!” were easily heard outside the Padres’ closed clubhouse after the game.
