In a season where the pitching has been their strong suit, it let the Padres down in their final game of 2014. Starter Robbie Erlin (4-5) didn't make it out of the second inning in the Friars 9-3 loss to the Giants at AT&T Park.
Reliever Nick Vincent got knocked around in a four-run seventh inning that put the game away for the Giants.
The Padres ended the season at 77-85, a two-game improvement over the past two years.
