July 1, 2016 (San Diego) - The Padres started July with an unusual opponent:  the New York Yankees.  The Bronx Bombers, who are generally excellent, have been slumping a bit this season, which could only (hopefully) mean good news for the Padres.  Or could it?  Let’s see if it did.

June 25, 2016 (Cincinnati) – The Padres and Reds got a nationally televised game three today.  What a treat!  It was also Pete Rose’s retirement ceremony (his number will be retired tomorrow), but considering that the Padres have won the last two games in this series decidedly, I don’t think they need any gambling help.  Drew Pomeranz started for San Diego against Brandon Finnegan for Cincy.
