The Padres are starting to turn it around breaking .500 (6-6) for the month of May. If they can continue to put together games like this we could see them make a playoff push down the stretch.

The story of last nights game was the offense, Nick Hundley and Andrew Parrino both hit solo homeruns that kicked off scoring in both the 3rd and 5th innings. Evereth Cabrera and Parrino tripled, Jordanny Valdespin doubled, so did Willie Cabrera (twice), Hundley and Joel Pineiro. The Padres were rolling on all cylinders.

Joel Pineiro was very good as well, going 8 innings and allowing 6 hits and 2 runs while striking out 7. Former Nats Closer Tyler Clippard who was acquired by the Pads prior to the game earned his 7th save of the season and 1st in a Padres uniform.

Tomorrow, the Padres will close out their short series in Washington before a 5-game homestand against the LA Teams (2 v. Dodgers, 3 v. Angels).

Padres Team Notes...San Diego claimed IF Wilson Valdez off of waivers from the Cincinnati Reds, Valdez is hitting .364 (8-22) with 1 HR and 5 RBI this season...Orlando Hudson was activated from the disabled list and was placed on the active roster following his oblique injury that cost him 4 weeks.
