When the Padres woke up on Friday morning they were in St. Louis, about to start a 3-game series against the Cardinals, the team they trail by a half game for the 2nd and final National League Wild Card spot.
They went to sleep with two teams between them and a return trip to the playoffs.
The Padres lost 8-2 at Busch Stadium, falling 1.5 games behind St. Louis. The Reds beat the Dodgers so Cincinnati leapfrogged San Diego and sit one full game back of the Redbirds.
The newly-acquired Vince Velasquez made his San Diego debut. He was signed after the Phillies let him go because the Padres needed someone to eat innings after Chris Paddack and Blake Snell landed on the Injured List. His 1st inning was a little shaky.
