We like to start our day searching the web and reading articles about our beloved LA sports teams. For this edition, let’s dive into the news surrounding the San Diego Padres.

Kyle Hendricks tossed a complete game five-hit shutout and completely shut down the San Diego Padres’ offense, leading the Chicago Cubs to a 3-0 victory Thursday night at Petco Park:

“The Cubs got out to an early lead on the Padres exactly two batters into the game, and never looked back; after Dexter Fowler walked to lead off the game against Odrisamer DespaigneKris Bryant hit a two-run shot to dead center field.
That was all the Cubs would need, though for good measure, they tacked on another run in the seventh inning, when Addison Russell hit a solo home run off Dale Thayer to make the game 3-0.

That was more than enough for Hendricks, who outdueled Despaigne for a complete game victory on just 107 pitches. Hendricks allowed just five hits – and no walks – while striking out seven Padres in nine innings of shutout work.”

The Los Angeles Times talks about what happened to the San Diego Padres. Below is an excerpt:

“The Padres have not scored in 14 innings. The Dodgers have not scored in 31 innings.

The Dodgers, at least, are in first place in the National League West. The Padres, built with the expectation of challenging the Dodgers and San Francisco Giants, are tied with the Arizona Diamondbacks for third place.

The Padres are 20-22. What’s up?

San Diego has had a relatively rough schedule so far. The Dodgers and Padres have almost identical records within the NL West — 17-13 for the Dodgers, 15-12 for the Padres — but San Diego has played 13 games outside the division against teams with winning records.”
