Trevor Hoffman comes in and gets the save for the Padres in an 8-6 ballgame. The Padres sweep the Mets thanks to a pinch hit home run by Tony Clark in the bottom of the eighth. If the Padres continue to play this well, they could get back into the hunt pretty quickly. The Padres are 7-3 in the last ten games. That has been without starters Jake Peavy and Chris Young and second baseman Tadihito Iguchi.
Many have been talking that the Padres could be sellers, but at this rate, they could be buyers for a solid bat in the middle of the order, or even a defined lead off hitter. Matt Holliday is out of the question, because the Rockies are a division foe, but Jason Bay, Tony Gwynn Jr., Kenny Lofton and many others are not out of the question. The pitching seems fine though. The Padres are high on newly acquired Cha Seung Baek and Randy Wolf alongside Greg Maddux have been hot as of late.
