Role reversal

The Padres enjoyed having the toothpick-swinging Mariners as their "natural rivals" last year. This time around, it was Padres hitters who re-enacted the Dead Ball era. The Padres scored a total of four runs in the six games, batted .162, hit nary a home run or a triple and amassed 56 strikeouts. Their only victory was by a 1-0 score.
