Padres' bats stay cold in loss to White Sox, magic number remains at three

The Padres have celebrated earning a playoff appearance just once in front of fans at Petco Park.

The Padres scored just once in 5 2/3 innings against right-hander Davis Martin, who struck out a career-high eight batters.An aggressive send by third base coach Matt Williams, with Manny Machado due up, cost the Padres a chance to at least tie the game in the fifth inning. So while it isn’t guaranteed, especially with the Padres having gone 4-for-32 with runners in scoring position while winning just once in the past four games, it still seems likely that at some point champagne will be uncorked in the Padres’ clubhouse and there will be a celebration on the field at Petco Park in front of fans for the first time since 2005.

“It’s right there for us,” manager Bob Melvin said before the game. “… It’d be nice to get back on a little bit of a winning streak here and hopefully take care of business.”

better up 2 games...then down 2 Padres
