Game Preview
The fact that the National League Champion has posted losing records at sometime in June in each of the previous 3 complete seasons is consoling for the Padres. However, San Diego hopes to immediately turn things around. The first game in a three-game series versus the Colorado Rockies is on Friday, June 9th at the Coors Field in Denver.
In their past 9 matches, San Diego has alternated between victories and defeats in an effort to catch up to the NL West leaders, the Arizona Diamondbacks.
