Extent of Kim's injury is known after he hurt right shoulder sliding into home plate; Padres gain half-game in wild-card standings
On Sunday, the Padres avoided the stumble that has kept them from making a sustained run this season by beating the Rangers 5-3 to complete a three-game sweep at Petco Park.
The good vibes from just their second three-game sweep of the season were immediately tempered by the loss early in the game of arguably their most valuable player to date. After having runners at first and second with no outs and failing to score in the second inning, the Padres broke through with what proved to be a costly run against Rangers starter Cody Bradford in the third.
He eventually walked off the field and was replaced at second base by Matthew Batten at the start of the fourth inning.
