“Keeping It 100” – Kemp Reaches Milestone in Loss to Brewers

On the night his former team celebrated its 3rd straight NL West division title, Matt Kemp reached a milestone in a losing effort.

The former Dodgers and current Padres outfielder collected his 100th RBI of the season when he plated Yangervis Solarte with a single in the 3rd inning. That base knock sliced the Brewers lead to 2-1.

Pitcher Tyson Ross and Wil Myers added RBI singles in the 4th to hand San Diego a 3-2 lead.

But Jean Segura provided the difference-maker with a 2-run homer towards the Western Metal Supply Company building in the 6th inning.

Sadly, the Padres must go 4-1 over their last 5 games just to equal last year’s disappointing record of 77-84.

Despite raised expectations and a big roster overhaul by new general manager AJ Preller, the Friars will finish with their fifth straight losing season.

The Dodgers clinched the NL West Tuesday for the 3rd straight season courtesy their 8-0 victory over the Giants in San Francisco.
