The Padres used a nine-game winning streak to take over 1st place in the National League West. They opened a 10-game, 10-day road trip with a split in Milwaukee to stay there.
All in all things are going pretty well for the Friar Faithful. Now, how long will the good times roll?

Those topics and more are discussed on the latest edition of the OnFriar Podcast:
