The San Diego Padres suffered a 2-1 loss to the New York Yankees on Thursday afternoon.  With the 2-1 loss, the Padres were swept in the three game series.  It was definately now how the Padres wanted things to go but they ran into a red hot Yankees team and couldn’t pull out any wins.

Josh Banks took the loss for the Padrs even though he didn’t pitch that badly.  Banks threw 5 1/3 innings and gave up four hits and two runs.  The Padres bullpen did a pretty good job holding the Yankees scoreless for the rest of the game however.  Justin Hampson, Bryan Corey, and Heath Bell all did a good job.

Tony Clark had the only rbi for the Padres which came in the fourth inning.  Clark hit a ground rule double that score Brian Giles.  Other then that, the Padres only had four other hits in the game against Joba Chamberlain and the rest of the Yankees pitchers.

The Padres will try to turn things around against the Detroit Tigers this weekend.  Padres Blog
