Padres cap 5-1 homestand with 5-4 win over Giants

The Padres gave their front office plenty of reasons to believe in their chances of making the playoffs by going 5-1 on the most recent homestand. The Friars capped it off with a 5-4 win over the Giants, allowing them to move 4 games above .500 and remain just one game back of both the Phillies and Diamondbacks for the final two wild card spots, with a massive 4-game series beginning against the Diamondbacks on Monday. All eyes now turn to Monday's trade deadline to see what kind of moves AJ Preller will make to fortify this roster.
