The Padres guaranteed they will not have a winning record in 2-13.
But, they still might have a non-losing record.
The Friars lost to the Pirates 10-1 on Thursday in Pittsburgh, their 81st loss of the season. So, San Diego will have to win all 10 of their remaining games to finish at an even 81-81.
Despite the blowout (Ian Kennedy was roughed up, allowing six runs in just 3.2 innings, his shortest outing as a Padre), the Padres finished their East coast road trip 6-4. Not bad, especially when you consider seven of those games were against teams in the playoff hunt (the Pirates and Braves).
Tommy Medica, the rookie called up from Double-A San Antonio just this month, drove in the Padres' only run with a single in the first inning. Medica has six RBI in nine games played.
The Padres start their final home stand of the season on Friday with a 3-game set against the Los Angeles Dodgers, who won the NL West Division title with a 7-6 win over the Diamondbacks on Thursday.
