The Padre decent below .500 continues. They lost 7-1 against the Reds. Woody Williams had the fourth consecutive poor start for San Diego, and the 9th in eleven games. They even made Eric Milton look good!

It's amazing to me that the best the Padres could do at the trading deadline is rid themselves of Nevin and Blum and pick up Chan Ho Park. With the loss, the Padres fall into a tie with the Arizona Diamondbacks, both teams three games under .500. (Actually, Arizona leads by .0002.)
