--The Padres will play a road game at Philadelphia on May 23 to make up the game lost to rain on Monday. The game will be played on a regularly scheduled open date for both the Padres and the Phillies. The date falls in front of a scheduled seven-game road trip to Washington and Cincinnati. It is also just eight days after the All-Star break.
BY THE NUMBERS: 9-3 -- The Padres' fastest start after 12 games since the 1998 team went 9-3 en route to the National League pennant.
QUOTE TO NOTE: "I think this year, the team is more together and doing the little things. There is more energy on the bench." -- SS Luis Rodriguez talking about the Padres' 9-4 start. Part of the reason for the early-season success: Rodriguez had hit three sacrifice files and drawn nine walks in 38 plate appearances.
