After a bad July and a miserable August that saw them fall out of contention, they have righted their ship in September and are 12-2. We are 7-4 against them on the season and split a pair of games the last time they were here, August 30-31. They are 6th in scoring in the PCL with 4.24 runs per game (Portland is #3 with 4.59). They lead the PCL with 152 SB and we are last with 49. They have one player with 46. The Padres are also 6th in fewest runs allowed with 3.87 per game (Portland is #1, but getting higher, at 3.16). Our dream of finishing with under 3 runs allowed per game is looking like a long shot. Their run differential is +54 and ours is +208. San Diego Padres (82-64 .562 18 GB in 2nd place in the PCL West) at Portland Beavers (100-46 .685 18 GA Champions of the PCL West) SD: Bobby Wolfe (27-R 7-11 5.03) vs. POR: Frank Flores (25-R 18-7 2.98) All-Star/PCLCS MVP Wolfe allowed 1 run in 6.1 IP last time out for a win. He is 2-0 in 3 starts against us this season, which is frankly embarrassing. He held us to 4 hits and no runs in 7.1 IP he last time we faced him. Flores gave up 5 runs (3 earned) and 8 hits in 5 IP last time out, but escaped with a no decision.
