The San Diego Padres lost, 9-5, to the Los Angeles Angels in the first of a three-game set back at home. They fell to 25-13 thanks to a six run ninth inning from the Halos.

Additionally, the Friars reportedly pursued an All-Star first baseman with championship experience. The 35-year-old would bring veteran expertise and a career .261 batting average if he were to return to the place where he first debuted in MLB.

In more veteran news, Yu Darvish has an exciting development on his road back to the mound. Fans finally have a date as to when they can see Darvish make his first rehab start.

Finally, the Padres made insane history recently as they did something not yet seen in MLB since the 19th century. After a 21-0 thrashing of the Colorado Rockies on Saturday, they were bound to set a record or two.
