Lineup 5/23

Ryan Ludwick back in the lineup tonight, looking to continue his offensive onslaught. Padres trying to snap a three-game losing streak and clinch at least a split of the season series against the Cardinals with a win tonight.

For those of you who saw the earlier lineup post…yes, apparently the umpires are only going to let us play with one shortstop tonight.

Lineup 5/22

Jason Bartlett is back in there today, the shortstop has hit safely in 11 of his last 12 games, batting .353 (18-for-51) with 12 RBI over that stretch.

The Padres have gone 5-2 on Sundays and 11-6 in day games this season…the 11 wins in day games are the second most in the NL behind the Reds (12 wins).

Lineup 5/21

First pitch is set for 7:05 p.m. tonight as the Padres take on RHP Michael Pineda and the Mariners.

Batting third is Ryan Ludwick, who’s working on a season-high nine-game hitting streak and batting .457 (16-f0r-35) with four homers and 14 RBI over that stretch.

Right behind Ludwick in the cleanup spot is Brad Hawpe, who hasn’t been too bad himself this month. The left-handed hitter has a .352 (19-for-54) average in 17 games this May, tied for the third best average in the NL this month.
