The Padres offense still is not lighting up the scoreboard by any stretch of the imagination, but they are lighting up the win column with surprising consistency. The Padres won their fourth straight game Saturday, by the same exact score each time. The score of 2-1 has become the Padres lucky combination to say the least.
Scott Hairston provided the drama to the close game, blasting a walk off homer in the bottom of the tenth inning. For a team that has grown to be accustomed to playing extra innings, the pressures are non existent now.
The first run came off the bat of Michael Barrett in the fifth inning.
Starter Cha Seung Baek went six innings, allowing seven hits and just one run to the potent Mets offense. He walked just two and struck out two.
Mike Adams picked up the win in relief, throwing a scoreless top of the tenth inning.
Oliver Perez allowed just one run to the Padres, the Barrett homer, his first as a Padre. He struck out five in 4.1 innings, also giving up four hits.
Carlos Delgado had three hits for the Mets.
