Despite missing top stars and rugged run, they've kept pace with Dodgers

The Padres must feel like they’ve been through 10 rounds with Mike Tyson, jaws bruised, ribs tenderized, lungs heaving, after a historic stretch of games not experienced in San Diego since 1990.8-5, Sunday at Petco Park, they’ve managed to survive.It’s all been a bit of a stunner. The Padres finished the stretch with a 17-14 record. When the meat grinder began May 27, they trailed the Dodgers by two games in the NL West. When it ended, they sat ... two games back.

“There’s a couple games we could have won, but just didn’t. But at the end of the day, we got through a really tough stretch and we’re in a good spot.” No team has played more times than the Padres this season, 75 games in all. Just four others have reached the mark. Still, San Diego has plugged along at a clip that remains one of the best in baseball.The offense, nonexistent for so long, exited the witness protection program in June. Entering Sunday, the Padres led the NL in hits and stood second in runs and extra-base hits .

Snell Breaks Harper's Thumb in Padres Loss to the PhilliesBlake Snell was rolling. He was efficient, plowing through the Philadelphia offense and commanding all of his pitches. Then he hit Bryce Harper and everything started to unravel in a 4-2 loss to the Phillies. Snell lost control of a 97 MPH fastball and drilled the reigning National League MVP in the hand. Harper suffered a fractured thumb and figures… Sucks. Feel for phillie fans, but it wasn't intentional, you can see the ball slipped, Bryce turned the wrong way (not his fault it was coming towards his head), Snell obviously felt horrible and you could see he was upset about it. Jorge Alfaro immediately started comforting..
