San Diego (34-31) beat Cincinnati (31-34), 6-2, in the series opener thanks to two runs in each of the seventh and eighth innings. That was the Padres third win in the last 14 games and the Reds fifth straight loss.
The Padres have now won two out of the last three games, but are still in a slump. With a 3-11 record over the last 14 games and a 3-7 mark in the previous 10, the Padres are in desperate need of a series win. San Diego could earn that with a win today. The Padres have lost four straight series and rank last in batting average during that span.
Cincinnati is on a five-game losing streak, which marks the second-longest of the season. The Reds have been outscored 32-15 in that five-game span. In the last 10 games, the Reds are 2-8, so just like the Padres, Cincinnati is in a slump. The Reds managed nine hits yesterday, but only two runs, while the Padres scored six runs on 10 hits.
