In their last two home games at Petco Park, the Padres have scored three runs on 20 hits over 35 innings.
On Wednesday night, the Padres returned home from a 1-4 road trip to lose a 3-2 decision to the Giants. In the Padres previous home game, they dropped a 2-1 decision to Colorado in the longest game in the history of both teams, lasting 22 innings. Blown in both games were a pair of great outings from the starting pitchers.
Last Thursday, Jake Peavy allowed only four hits over eight scoreless innings while striking out 11.
Wednesday night, Greg Maddux threw seven innings of shutout ball against the Giants. He left the game with a 1-0 lead, but saw his bid for win No. 350 go up in smoke when closer Trevor Hoffman allowed a ninth-inning homer to Bengie Molina.
In their last two home games, Padres' hitters are 20-for-119 (.168).
GIANTS 3, PADRES 2 (13 innings): San Francisco scored twice in the top of the 13th, then held on Wednesday as the Padres loaded the bases with none out in the bottom of the 13th against Giants closer Brian Wilson. But the Padres got only one run on a sacrifice fly by Colt Morton. The Giants two runs in the top of the ninth came against Glendon Rusch, who was also the losing pitcher last Thursday night in the Padres 2-1, 22-inning loss to Colorado.
