San Diego Padres vs Atlanta Braves
1:05 PM ET, May 30, 2011
Turner Field, Atlanta, Georgia
As they get set to face the Atlanta Braves, the light-hitting San Diego Padres are coming off one of their best performances at the plate in nearly two weeks.
Judging by their recent games against Tim Hudson, the Padres' chances of building on that effort and tying their longest win streak of the season don't look promising in Monday's opener of a three-game series.
Already among the least productive teams in the majors, the Padres (22-31) batted .186 and scored 15 runs during a recent 3-8 stretch. San Diego, hitting .227 and averaging 3.4 runs on the season, broke out of that slump with 10 hits in Sunday's 5-4 victory in Washington.
Ryan Ludwick went 3 for 4 and drove in the go-ahead run on an infield single in the ninth inning. The Padres were 4 for 10 with runners in scoring position after going 6 for 55 in RBI situations over their previous 11 games.
