Padres Need Better Offensive Production

The San Diego Padres come into this weekend’s series with the Arizona Diamondbacks having scored a total of nine runs in their last four games. The Padres know they need to turn it up if they’re going to hang onto the final playoff spot in the National League.

We’re going to need to make it a little more of a sustained run here at some point in time in these last 20 games,” Padres manager Bob Melvin said after Wednesday’s loss to the Seattle Mariners. “We’ve said this, keep saying it for a while. We feel like we have the pieces to do it. We just haven’t done it yet. So it’s time to just quit talking about it. We have to do it.”

Third baseman Manny Machado was 0-for-4 with three strikeouts in Wednesday’s loss and has just one hit and six strikeouts over his last three games. Machado is batting .299 with 34 doubles, a triple, 28 home runs, 90 RBIs and 87 runs scored.

Left-hander Sean Manaea will get the start for Thursday’s contest. The 30-year-old is 7-8 with a 5.23 ERA, striking out 142 in 139⅓ innings. He had an ugly outing in his last start, going 4⅓ innings against the Los Angeles Dodgers on Sept. 3 and allowing eight runs on nine hits, including three home runs, while striking out four and walking one.

Diamondbacks Trying to Finish Strong

The Arizona Diamondbacks have been up and down, winning nine of 11 to start this month, but they are on a string of six losses in their last eight games. The team would like to move back up to third place in the NL West by the season’s end.

Arizona will call up right-hander Drey Jameson to make his major league debut in Thursday’s series opener. The 25-year-old has been hit hard in Triple-A this season, recording a 6.95 ERA.

Shortstop Sergio Alcantara was the hero of Wednesday’s win over the Los Angeles Dodgers, hitting a three-run home run in the bottom of the 10th inning to give Arizona the victory. Alcantara is batting .222 with six doubles, a triple, five home runs, 22 RBIs and 22 runs scored in 77 games.

First baseman Christian Walker was 0-for-12 with four strikeouts in the three-game series against the Dodgers. Walker is batting .233 with 21 doubles, a triple, 32 home runs, 79 RBIs and 74 runs scored.
