--3B Kevin Kouzmanoff, who has hit cleanup in 21 of the Padres' first 26 games, hasn't had an RBI over 11 games and 57 at-bats. Kouzmanoff is hitting .250 (7-for-28) with runners in scoring position.
--RHP Mark Prior threw a bullpen session Sunday morning at Petco Park and came away feeling good -- mentally as well as physically. But he can't project when he'll be able to pitch. "I'm not alone," said Prior. "There is no rehab precedent for the type of surgery I had. I had a combination of a couple things done. It's about getting healthy. I want to get back into pitching situations. But if I'm not healthy, there are no more situations." Neither Prior nor the Padres are talking in terms of June 1 anymore, although they are optimistic there is light coming down the tunnel. --After Saturday's 13-inning, 8-7 victory over Arizona, the Padres had played a 22-inning game and two 13-inning games in a span of 10 days. The bullpen had worked 46 1/3 innings over those 10 days and threw 779 pitches.
--The Padres had lost six straight extra-inning games and were 0-6 this season in games decided in the final at-bat before Tadahito Iguchi ended Saturday's game with a walk-off homer.
--The temperature at game time Sunday afternoon in San Diego was 91 -- the highest temperature for a game at Petco Park since it was 91 degrees on Sept. 5, 2004, against Colorado... and the highest for any game in San Diego since it was 93 degrees on Aug. 30, 1998, at Qualcomm Stadium in Mission Valley.
--The Padres have scored one run out of their last five-bases loaded opportunities, four of which started with one out. They are 0-for-7 with a sacrifice fly, a double play and three strikeouts.
BY THE NUMBERS: 4 -- Homers by Brian Giles in nine career at-bats against Arizona right-hander Micah Ownings.
93 -- Straight innings at Petco Park without a Padres homer between Giles' solo homer in the sixth off the Dodgers' Hiroki Kuroda on April 4 and his fourth-inning solo shot yesterday off Micah Owings.
378 -- Plate appearances (329 at-bats) by the Padres between Petco Park homers.
QUOTE TO NOTE: "It's been sort of the same story the last 10 days. We couldn't get a big hit. We've got some guys not swinging the bat. We've got some veteran players who have been through this, but this has taken longer." -- Padres manager Bud Black, on the Padres' continuing hitting woes.
