The Padres were back down to earth a week ago; now they’ve reverted to the good ‘ol 2008 team. This last roadtrip featured the Padres only getting one win out of sevn games, including a 4-game beatdown in L.A. Here are the recaps..

4/27/09: 12-7 Rockies

Everyone has a bad outing in Colorado, and Chris Young had his last Monday night. Young gave up 8 runs on 7 hits and 5 walks, and the Padres offense couldn’t quite keep up, despite taking a 4-2 lead in the third inning. The bullpen didn’t exactly stop the bleeding, as Moreno, Sanchez, and Perdomo all struggled. Jody Gerut homered for the Padres in the loss.

4/28/09: 4-3 Padres

The only bright spot on the roadtrip was the Padres’ Game 2 win in Denver. Chad Gaudin, making his Padres debut, pitched well although he didn’t factor in the decision. Scott Hairston had given San Diego the lead with a homer. When Gregorson allowed 2 runs in the 7th however, the Padres found themselves down 3-2. Single runs in the 8th and 9th innings helped San Diego get the win, with Heath Bell closing it out.

4/29/09: 7-5 Rockies

Aaron Cook pitched his way to his first win of the year. Adrian Gonzalez was pretty much the team’s entire offense, driving 2 home runs. A struggling Padres bullpen would allow the Rockies to get the extra runs that they’d need.

4/30/09: 8-5 Dodgers

Unfortunately, the Padres couldn’t finish April with a better-than .500 record. Josh Geer was less than spectacular, and an error by catcher Nick Hundley in the later innings allowed the go-ahead run to score for the Dodgers.

5/1/09: 1-0 Dodgers

It’s a real shame that Jake Peavy had to face Clayton Kershaw and get no run support in a game where he was electric. Peavy looked like his old self, shutting out the Dodgers for 8 innings. Kershaw did his part, shutting out the Padres for 7. In a battle of the bullpen, the Dodgers win.

5/2/09: 2-1 Dodgers

Another low-scoring affair. Edgar Gonzalez homered in the first for San Diego, and Chris Young pitched 7 great innings. However, the Dodgers would beat the bullpen again, winning in the 10th on Andre Ethier’s RBI single.

5/3/09: 7-3 Dodgers

The Dodgers continued to play great at home, and Chad Billingsley improved to 5-0. Chad Gaudin wasn’t as good in his second start as a Padre, and where the Dodgers could get 3 or 4 runs in an inning, the Padres could only muster 1.
