The Blue Jays made a rare visit to San Diego and brought a surprisingly large hoard of fans with them. It was Rock 'n Roll Marathon weekend so we had the experience of three 7PM starts on the weekend.

Cardinals in SoCal
In the last couple weeks, the Cardinals have played the Padres, Dodgers, Giants and Dbacks. While the Padres looked great in game one of their series with the Red Birds, they dropped games 2 and 3. The Cards went on to take two out of three against both LA and SF and split two of four with the Dbacks.

Split against the Nats
While the first two games of the Nationals series each resulted in a loss for the Padres, the Friars came out strong on Saturday and Sunday with back to back wins and a series split.
Saturday's game was all Eric Stults, pitching an 8.0 inning gem giving up only one run on four hits. The Padres' bats were cold, with only seven hits, but it was enough to get the 2-1 win over the Nationals and starting pitcher Zimmerman who is now 7-2 on the year. The game was the third shortest in Petco Park history, clocking in at 2:01.
On Sunday, starting pitcher Andrew Cashner looked strong, pitching 6.2 innings with six strikeouts. The Padres racked up 15 hits and scored 13 runs with every starter getting a hit except for Nick Hundley who has been skidding at the plate all month. The most exciting moment of the game for me was seeing Kyle Blanks crush a 2-run homerun off the 2nd deck of the Western Metal Supply Building. The Padres won 13-4 and improved to a 20-23 record on the season. A extra bonus at the park this weekend was sitting next to and talking baseball with Nathan (@Taterz1021) who was in town cheering on the Padres.
