The San Diego Padres are 22-24 and 7.5 games back of the Los Angeles Dodgers in the National League West entering Thursday\'s action.
They have not been more than two games over .500 at any point this season.
\"Our big guys, we\'re not swinging it too well. Let\'s be honest,\" Manny Machado said. \"We\'re not playing at our highest level, and we\'re at .500. We\'re still playing some good baseball. We\'re winning games, we\'re beating tough teams, we\'re doing what we need to be doing, and we\'re not even going yet. Speaks volumes of this team.\"
