--3B Kevin Kouzmanoff was given Sunday off in Los Angeles. Kouzmanoff is 5-for-35 with 12 strikeouts in his last nine starts with his season batting average slipping to .237. Kouzmanoff has struck out 25 times in 93 at-bats while drawing only five walks for a .275 on-base percentage.

--RF Brian Giles continues to struggle at the plate. A solo homer in his final at-bat Sunday in Los Angeles was his first homer of the season and ended a 0-for-20 run. Padres manager Bud Black has been pulling out all stops to get Giles untracked, including giving him a day off last week, leading him off three times (for the first time this season) and batting him second once. Not only is Giles' average off 148 points from last year, his on-base percentage is .238 -- or 160 points below last year's final mark.

--CF Jody Gerut hit a homer late in Sunday's loss in Los Angeles to end a drought. Gerut had one hit in his previous 17 at-bats and is just 5-for-35 (with three hits coming in one game) since he was hitting .316 on April 21.
