--1B Adrian Gonzalez went 0-for-4 Monday with three strikeouts and failed to reach base for the first time this season.

--RHPs Luke Gregerson and Duaner Sanchez, two key members of the Padres' bullpen, fell apart on the trip. Rookie Gregerson entered the trip with a 2.45 ERA. After four appearances on the road, his ERA was 5.40. He lost two games in a three-day span in Los Angeles and over his four appearances on the trip he allowed five runs on 13 hits in just 2 1/3 innings. The veteran Sanchez was 1-1 on the trip, but put a total of nine runners on base in 2 2/3 innings with two scoring. --Sanchez and Gregerson are not alone when it comes to struggling in the Padres' bullpen.

Called up to lend aid this past week, left-hander Arturo Lopez gave up two runs on three hits and two walks in 1/3-inning covering two official appearances. Every Padres reliever gave up at least one run on the trip.
